There is a striking sex difference in the pattern of growth hormone (GH) secretion in rats. Our previous studies showed that short-term administration of pharmacological doses of testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) masculinized the GH secretory pattern in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The locus where testosterone or DHT interacts with the somatotropic axis is believed to be the hypothalamus. To obtain insights into this phenomenon, we administered a single dose of DHT s.c. to adult OVX rats at 0.01,0.1 or 1 mg/rat. Blood GH concentrations were measured in unanaesthetized rats. Six to 12h after the s.c. administration of all three doses of DHT, the GH secretory pattern revealed a male-like secretory pattern as shown by episodic bursts occurring at 2-3-h intervals with low or undetectable trough levels. When anterolateral deafferentation of the medial basal hypothalamus (ALC) was performed, the blood concentrations revealed irregularly occurring small fluctuations, instead of the usual high bursts, but the basal GH concentration was significantly higher than that of OVX-sham-operated rats. DHT treatment did not elicit pulsatile GH secretion or alter GH concentrations in OVX rats with ALC. When intact adult female rats received DHT at a dose of 1mg/rat, the male-like GH secretory pattern was not induced. These results suggest that neural inputs from the anterolateral direction to the medial basal hypothalamus are necessary for the masculinizing effect of DHT on the GH secretory pattern in OVX rats, and that oestrogen in intact female rats prevents the masculinizing effect of DHT.
