Abstract：
:A series of experiments was performed to determine the effects of the alpha 1-noradrenergic antagonist, prazosin, on the concentration of estrogen receptors in female rat brain and pituitary gland. Prazosin caused a dose-dependent decrease in the concentration of cytosol estrogen receptors in mediobasal hypothalamus when injected 10 and 16 h prior to assay. The drug was without effect on the concentration of nuclear estrogen receptors in the absence of estradiol, indicating that the decreased concentration of cytosol estrogen receptors is not due to nuclear estrogen receptor accumulation. Scatchard analysis confirmed that prazosin treatment decreases the concentration of cytosol estrogen receptors without influencing the apparent affinity of the receptors for [3H]estradiol. The prazosin-induced decrease in the concentration of cytosol estrogen receptors in the mediobasal hypothalamus was transient with maximal effects occurring between 8 and 12 h after a single injection. Competition analysis confirmed that prazosin is not an effective competitor for binding to the estrogen receptor in vitro. The effects of prazosin on the estrogen receptor system could not be attributed to modulation of the levels of norepinephrine or dopamine. Assay of the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in hypothalamus and preoptic area after prazosin injection revealed no effects of prazosin on the level of either of these catecholamines. An estradiol injection resulted in the predicted decrease in the concentration of estrogen receptors accumulating in hypothalamic cell nuclei, suggesting that the cytosol estrogen receptors that decrease in concentration are functional receptors. Prazosin treatment did not result in a decrease in the effectiveness of estradiol in the induction of cytosol progestin receptors in the mediobasal hypothalamus, suggesting that the cells are regulated by the alpha 1-noradrenergic system may not be those cells in which progestin receptors are also induced. These experiments provide further evidence that the noradrenergic system modulates the concentration of estrogen receptors, and perhaps sensitivity to estradiol, in some cells within the rat hypothalamus.
