| Popis: | The distribution of progestin target cells in the cerebral cortex and the effect of estrogen treatment was assessed during the critical period of brain development and compared with the preoptic/central hypothalamic regions. [125I]progestin was injected into 0, 2, 8, and 12 day postnatal mice pretreated for 3 days with oil, 5 micrograms/100 g b, wt., or 100 micrograms/100 g b. wt. of estradiol dissolved in oil. Two hours after injection of radiolabeled ligand, brains were frozen and processed for thaw-mount autoradiography. At birth, labeled cells were detected in the deep (lamina VI) and intermediate (lamina V) layers of the lateral cortical regions, increased in laminae V-VI of the lateral cortex and laminae II-VI of the cingulate/paracingulate cortex at days 2 and 8, and decreased throughout the cortex by day 12. Pretreatment of animals with estradiol had no noticeable effect on the nuclear concentration of [125I]progestin in cortical cells, while estrogen weakly enhanced labeling in preoptic/central hypothalamic regions at day 2 and markedly augmented labeling in the 8 and 12 day brain. The results demonstrated that progestin receptor cells are present in the postnatal dorsal cortex, preoptic area, and hypothalamus and that the topography of cortical progestin target cells differs in part from that of estrogen target cells reported earlier. |
