Inhibition of pituitary-testicular function with [D-Trp6] luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in rhesus monkeys.

abstract：:Hormonal induction of steroidogenesis in the adrenal and gonads is dependent on the synthesis and function of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). As a first approach to investigate the role of translation in the control of StAR expression, we examined StAR protein synthesis and steroid production in MA-...
