In order to investigate the anti-gonadotropic effect of norethisterone (NET) in long-term ovariectomized rats, we studied the interaction of this synthetic progestin with intracellular steroid receptors in the anterior pituitary by a nuclear exchange assay. The results demonstrated that the administration of NET to long-term ovariectomized rats resulted in nuclear translocation of estradiol cytosol receptors in the pituitary and uterus with a rate of accumulation and nuclear retention being similar in both tissues. Accumulation of nuclear estradiol receptors in the pituitary was in agreement with the rate of LH inhibition in NET-treated rats. The results presented in this communication may explain the anti-gonadotropic activity of NET in long-term ovariectomized rats in addition to its well known progestational activity.
