Abstract
Interest in anabolic steroids has been renewed in the last decade with the discovery of tissue-selective androgen receptor modulators exhibiting high myotropic and small androgenic activity. An explanation put forward by us in 1982 for the mechanism of the preferential myotropic effect of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) exploits the fundamental difference between the 5alpha-reductase concentrations in skeletal muscle and androgenic target tissue. In androgenic tissue, testosterone is converted to the more potent 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone whereas nandrolone is converted to a less potent derivative. As 5alpha-reduction is negligible in skeletal muscle, this explains why nandrolone shows a greater myotropic to androgenic ratio when compared with testosterone. Anabolic steroids that do not undergo 5alpha-reduction exert myotropic-androgenic dissociation because their effect in androgenic tissues is not amplified by 5alpha-reduction. Tissue selectivity by receptor modulators may be achieved by inducing specific conformational changes of the androgen receptor that affect its interaction with transcriptional coregulators. Anabolic activity is mediated by the stimulation of ribosomal RNA synthesis therefore regulation of this synthesis by anabolic steroids would deserve detailed studies.

Abstract
The prostate gland plays an important role in male reproduction. It secretes enzymes, lipids, amines and metal ions essential for the normal function of spermatozoa. Development, differentiation and maintenance of the prostate gland depend on steroid and peptide hormones. Beside hormones growth factors also regulate the prostate gland. This review will focus on the structure, functions and mode of regulation of the prostate gland.

Abstract
The prostate gland is unusual in that it has a high content of citric acid compared with other soft tissues. The mechanism of citrate accumulation in prostate is unknown. One possibility is that aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) could supply an extra Krebs cycle source of oxaloacetate for citrate formation. Since testosterone regulates citrate production and secretion and strong transaminase activity exists in prostate, a relationship between AAT and citrate production could exist if testosterone also regulates AAT activity. To investigate this possibility, animals were castrated and given testosterone. After a total castration period of 72 hours, animals were sacrificed and mitochondrial AAT activity determined. Results revealed that castration decreased AAT activity and testosterone replacement stimulated activity. Neither castration nor testosterone affected malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity. Both actinomycin D and cycloheximide blocked the testosterone stimulation of AAT activity. These studies indicate that testosterone may regulate AAT activity in rat ventral prostate. Furthermore, regulation may occur through testosterone stimulation of specific RNA and protein synthesis.

Abstract
The fine structure of the nuclei of epithelial cells of the dorsal lobe of the rat prostate were studied after administration of three different anit-androgenic compounds. The nucleolus appears to undergo a progressive disorganisation with partial fragmentation and dispersion of its normal components. Different types of intranuclear inclusions were found. The various alterations observed were often encountered within the same section. This may indicate that the nuclear alterations occur in the same compartment of the cell, and represent a dysfunction of integrated biochemical events occurring within this compartment. The findings support a view that the stimulatory secretory effect of androgens is mediated via a "secretory center", located within the nucleolus-associated chromatin. Within this "secretory center", the initial steps of the secretory process, the binding of the DHT receptor complex to DNA is assumed to occur.

Abstract
Protein phosphokinase activities of nucleolar and extra-nucleolar compartments of rat ventral prostate nuclei were measured using the model acidic phosphoprotein, dephosphophosvitin, as substrate. Following orchiectomy, the activity in both of these fractions declined; however, the kinase activity of the nucleolus decreased at a much greater rate than that in the extra-nucleolar portion of the nucleus. Testosterone maintenance of castrated animals prevented this decline in activity. The regulation of protein phosphokinases which phosphorylate prostatic nucleolar acidic proteins may be an important mechanism in the androgen mediated activation of the nucleolus in this target tissue.

Abstract
An early 'induced protein', after exposure of the rat uterus to estradiol, is detected among the soluble proteins with a double-labelling technique and electrophoretic fractionation. Efforts have been directed to establish the subcellular distribution of the induced protein, since such a protein, observable 1 h after hormone administration, may play an important role in the subsequent amplified responses, especially in terms of RNA synthesis. Moreover such an early discrete induced protein was sought in a comparable system responding to another hormone, namely prostate and seminal vesicles under androgens. The induced protein was not found in uterine nuclei of 21-day-old rats after 1 h of estradiol action in vivo and 1 h of tissue incubation with labelled leucine. This negative result summarizes a search among different nuclear protein fractions using various procedures; nor was induced protein observed in mitochondrial and microsomal pellets. Contrary to these negative findings, slight changes of histone labelling were observed under the experimental conditions used to demonstrate induced protein. In addition histone acetylation was increased after 1 h of estradiol action in vivo and 15 min tissue labelling in vitro with radioactive acetate. Furthermore, an increase in total protein synthesis between 0 and 2 h after estradiol action was observed, the relative increase of incorporation of radioactive leucine into protein of estradiol-treated vs non-stimulated uteri being corrected for variations of the acid-soluble radioactive leucine pool. Attempts to obtain an early and discrete induced protein with androgens in prostate and seminal vesicles of immature or castrated rats after different times of exposure to testosterone, androstanolone and estradiol have been unsuccessful. The contribution of both negative and positive findings in steroid-induced early protein synthesis is discussed in the context of the current knowledge of hormone action.

Abstract
1. By using ultrasonic treatment in media of high ionic strength, the RNA polymerase activities associated with prostatic nuclei and nucleoli can be completely solubilized. Such enzyme preparations are entirely dependent on the provision of added DNA for full activity. 2. The solubilized enzymes from the nucleolar and extranucleolar regions can be separated by ion-exchange chromatography. 3. Based on differences in the optimum DNA templates, pH optima and the effects of ammonium sulphate on the activities in vitro, Mn(2+)- and Mg(2+)-specific enzymes are associated with both the nucleolar and extranucleolar regions of prostatic nuclei. 4. Androgenic hormones administered in vivo have a particularly pronounced effect on the activity of Mg(2+)-dependent enzyme associated with the isolated prostatic nucleolus. 5. Time-course experiments in vivo show that androgens induce a rapid stimulation of the solubilized Mg(2+)-dependent nucleolar enzyme before a pronounced activation of nucleolar chromatin can be measured. 6. The implications of these findings to the mechanism of action of androgenic steroids are discussed.

Abstract
1. The hormonal regulation of phosphofructokinase was investigated in the accessory reproductive organs of the orchidectomized rat. 2. Phosphofructokinase activities declined to 51% and 47% in the prostate and 9% and 6% of the normal values in seminal vesicles 4 and 8 weeks after castration respectively. Administration of testosterone (100mug./100g. body wt.) for 3 days reversed substantially the effects of orchidectomy, and phosphofructokinase activity increased to 173% in the prostate and 536% in seminal vesicles as compared with the values of castrated controls. 3. Time-course studies demonstrated that after a single injection of testosterone (5mg./100g. body wt.) phosphofructokinase activity was maximally elevated to 236% in the prostate and 342% in seminal vesicles at 24hr. 4. Dose-response studies revealed that 2.5mg. of testosterone propionate/100g. body wt. was the minimal amount necessary to induce significant increases in enzyme activity in both accessory sex organs; maximal increases were obtained with a dose of 5mg./100g. body wt. 5. The observed enzyme increases induced by testosterone were inhibited by the simultaneous administration of oestradiol-17beta, and phosphofructokinase activity in this group of rats remained at 97% in the prostate and 137% of the control values in seminal vesicles. Oestradiol-17beta by itself failed to produce any significant effect on enzyme activity in either of these secondary sexual tissues. 6. The nature of the testosterone-induced increases in phosphofructokinase activity was studied by using a variety of inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis. Cycloheximide, 5-fluorouracil and ethionine largely blocked the androgen-stimulated rise in enzyme activity observed 24hr. after steroid injection. The inhibitory effect of ethionine was completely reversed by the simultaneous administration of methionine. 7. Actinomycin, which is known to inhibit the synthesis of messenger RNA as well as the synthesis of other cellular RNA fractions, when given simultaneously with the hormone, also inhibited the testosterone-induced increases in prostatic and seminal-vesicular phosphofructokinase. However, when the antibiotic was given 6 or 12hr. after injection of the steroid, practically no inhibition of phosphofructokinase induction was obtained. This indicates that, once the enzyme-forming machinery is turned on and allowed to operate for a few hours, actinomycin is incapable of reversing the hormone-induced enzyme responses. 8. The results presented suggest that new RNA and protein synthesis may be involved in the observed androgen-induced increases in phosphofructokinase activity in the prostate and seminal vesicles of the orchidectomized rat.

Abstract
1. Implantation of diethylstilboestrol pellets into adult male rats brings about similar biochemical changes in the nucleic acid and protein metabolism to castration. 2. The avidity of the prostate for labelled diethylstilboestrol was greater than that of the other organs examined. 3. Uptake of labelled diethylstilboestrol and testosterone into the nuclei of the rat prostate is greater in castrated rats than in controls. 4. Diethylstilboestrol appeared to be associated with the protein and not with the DNA fraction of the nucleus.
