RESUMO

A procedure was developed for measurement of androgen receptors in cytoplasmic extracts of prostates from intact dogs. The protocol utilized exchange saturation analysis at 15°C employing the synthetic androgen R1881 (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylestra-4,9,11-trien-3-one) as the ligand probe and quantitatively detected total cytoplasmic androgen receptor (Rc, androgen-free receptor, and RcA, androgen-occupied receptor) present at the initiation of the assay. This protocol was employed in conjunction with a tissue mince saturation analysis procedure (for quantitation of nuclear androgen receptor) to quantitate total androgen receptor content of normal and hyperplastic prostates obtained from young (2.5- or 4.6-yr old) and aged (12.5-yr old) purebred dogs of known birth date.
