Abstract

Objective To study the effects of estradiol-17β (17β-E2) on the synthesis of GnRH and GH in submandibular gland of rat. Method Immunohistochemical ABC method was used to observe the localization of GnRH and GH in submandibular gland of rat.Results  The synthsis of GnRH was promoted and the synthesis of GH was inhibited by 17β-E2 in rat's submandibular gland. Conclusion The 17β-E2 may play an important regulative role in the synthesis of GnRH and GH.
