Abstract
Using radioimmunoassay, the concentration of carbonic anhydrase III (CA III) in the livers of adult male rats was found to be approximately 30 times greater than that observed in mature females. Castration of male rats led to a marked reduction in liver CA III concentrations that could be partially restored to control levels by testosterone replacement. Administration of testosterone to ovariectomized female rats induced about a 5-fold increase in liver CA III concentration. Immunoprecipitational analysis of the products of liver mRNA translation in vitro with antiserum specific for CA III showed that hormonal control of the levels of CA III in rat liver is mediated by changes in the amount of translatable CA III mRNA. Marked changes in liver CA III concentrations were also observed in developing and aging male rats. Different control mechanisms appear to operate in mouse and man.Keywords
