Accumulation of glycoprotein gonadotropin in the pituitary of juvenile rainbow trout in response to androgens and C21-steroids, including 11-steroids.

Abstract:

:Effects of steroids on the accumulation of glycoprotein gonadotropin (GTH) in pituitaries of juvenile trout were investigated by means of scanning cytophotometry applied to immunocytochemical preparations, and with the use of a radioimmunoassay. Effects on other aspects of GTH-cell activity were analyzed by measuring the size of the gonadotrops and their nuclei. Progesterone added to aquarium water and methyltestosterone incorporated into the food showed a pronounced stimulatory effect on the accumulation of GTH. To a lesser extent, treatment with cortisol, cortisone, and desoxycorticosterone acetate administered to aquarium water, and 11 beta-hydroxy-androstenedione added to the food resulted in an increase of the hypophysial content of GTH. Steroids stimulating the accumulation of GTH in the pituitary also exhibited a positive effect on GTH-cell activity as indicated by an increase in the size of gonadotropic cells. Progesterone incorporated into the food did not influence the GTH-content and the GTH-cell activity. It is suggested that the route of administration of an exogenous steroid is essential for its effect on GTH cells in trout. Comparison of GTH values reveals an excellent correlation between the data from the radioimmunoassay and those from the corresponding densitometric measurements. No correlation was observed between values of morphometrically determined GTH-cell activity and the densitometric values reflecting hypophysial GTH content.
