Biological Action of Estrogen on the Epididymis of Prepubertal Rhesus Monkey*

Abstract: Summary:  An estrogen binding protein has been demonstrated in the cytosol of the epididymis and caudal lobe of prostate of immature rhesus monkey. Scatchard plot analyses were linear, suggesting a single class of high affinity binding sites for the synthetic estrogen, R‐2858 (Moxestrol) with a Kd of 5.88 times 10‐10 mol/l and a concentration of binding sites of 17.0 ± 4.4 fmol/mg cytosol protein in the epididymis. In the prostate, the concentration of binding sites was 19.7 ± 3.6 fmol/mg cytosol protein with … Show more

“…At least 30% of male infertility are idiopathic (McLachlan & O'Bryan, 2010), and known or unknown genetic factors possibly account for a number of cases. Oestrogen regulates spermatogenesis by specifically binding oestrogen receptor-alpha (ERa) and oestrogen receptor-beta (ERb) (Kamal et al, 1985), which are distributed in the testicular cells (Carreau et al, 2006). Knockout of ERa (ERaKO) and of both ERa and ERb (ERa/bKO) in mice resulted in infertility and dysfunction of spermatogenesis from puberty (Gould et al, 2007).…”
