Abstract:
:The normal sexual dimorphism in murine hepatic hexobarbital metabolism (i.e. females greater than males) was found to be absent in senescent animals. Hexobarbital metabolism, expressed as microsomal activity of hexobarbital hydroxylase and hexobarbital-induced sleep time, in senescent male mice was similar to that in females, but significantly greater than that found in young adult males. No age-related changes in hexobarbital metabolism were observed in intact females. In addition, experiments involving gonadectomies and testosterone administration indicated that both male and female senescent mice were insensitive to the normally repressive effects of androgens on hexobarbital hydroxylase. In contrast, the sexual dimorphism in the activity of p-nitrophenol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase was maintained in the senescent mice as well as the usual responsiveness to testosterone regulation. Furthermore, the growth-promoting effects of androgen on the kidneys and seminal vesicles were similarly expressed in young and old mice. Thus, our results suggest the development of an age-dependent and selective insensitivity of hexobarbital hydroxylase to androgenic regulation in the aging mouse.
