- W4235752789 abstract "This study directly tested the inhibin hypothesis by examining the ability of replacement with recombinant human (rh-) inhibin, either alone or in combination with testosterone (T), to maintain FSH secretion and FSH beta messenger RNA (mRNA) at intact levels after orchidectomy in the hypophysiotropically clamped juvenile rhesus monkey. Thirteen male monkeys (11-21 months of age) received an intermittent i.v. infusion of GnRH (0.1 microgram/min for 3 min every 3 h). After 4-6 weeks of GnRH stimulation, 10 animals were orchidectomized, and 3 monkeys were sham castrated. Hormone replacement was initiated at castration and maintained for 4 days. Three monkeys received a combination of inhibin and T replacement, 4 monkeys received replacement with inhibin alone, and 3 monkeys received T replacement alone. A continuous i.v. infusion of rh-inhibin (832 ng/h.kg) was used to replace the testicular protein, whereas SILASTIC capsules were implanted sc for T replacement. The FSH response to castration and hormone replacement was determined by measuring circulating concentrations of this gonadotropin before a GnRH pulse and for 3 h thereafter on the day before surgery and on days 2 and 4 postcastration. Circulating immunoactive inhibin was measured by a RIA that recognizes the free alpha-subunit of inhibin as well as inhibin dimers. At the end of the study, anterior pituitaries were collected for analysis of steady state levels of FSH beta, LH beta, and alpha-subunit mRNAs. Steroid replacement alone, which produced circulating T concentrations in the upper physiological range, failed to prevent the postcastration increases in circulating FSH concentrations and pituitary FSH beta mRNA levels. In contrast, when circulating immunoactive inhibin in T-replaced monkeys was maintained at precastration levels (approximately 2 ng/ml) by infusion of rh-inhibin, FSH secretion and synthesis were held at control values. When T was omitted from combined replacement, the FSH-suppressing action of the recombinant hormone was not compromised. These results demonstrate that rh-inhibin is biologically active in the monkey, and the action of inhibin to suppress FSH synthesis and secretion does not require a concomitant action of T. Moreover, because the hypophysiotropic drive to the pituitary-testicular axis was clamped, the FSH-suppressing action of rh-inhibin must be at the pituitary." @default.
