Abstract
The presence of ectopic pituitary tissue (derived from an adult rat) in prepubertal male and female rats caused the immature, masculine-type hepatic steroid metabolism to develop into female-type metabolism. It is concluded that the hypothalamus-pituitary system controls the ontogenesis of sex-dependent steroid metabolism in rat liver.Entities:
