Popis: 1 Smooth reticular membranes from male rat liver contain high affinity binding sites for oestradiol. Similar membranes from females contain analogous sites for testosterone. 2 Rough membranes from which polysomes have been removed by EDTA (degranulated membranes), contain no high affinity binding sites for either hormone. 3 Ethyl acetate extracts of degranulated membranes contain materials which block the high affinity binding sites on smooth membranes of the same but not the opposite sex. 4 These extracts promote the attachment of ribosomes to smooth membranes of the same but not the opposite sex. 5 The ethyl acetate extracts from male and female degranulated membranes contain substances which behave like oestradiol and testosterone, respectively.
