Zusammenfassung
In Nebennieren und Eierstöcken geschlechtsreifer und infantiler Kaninchen und Ratten wurde die histochemische Darstellung der Hydroxysteroid-Dehydrogenase-Aktivität vorgenommen und das histochemische Verhalten der Enzymaktivität nach Hypophysektomie, Kastration, Gonadotropin- und Oestrogengaben untersucht. In allen hormonproduzierenden Zellen endokriner Organe ist eine 3β-ol Steroid-Dehydrogenase-Aktivität nachweisbar. Nach Gonadotropingaben steigt die Enzymaktivität in den Eierstöcken an, nach Hypophysektomie sinkt die Aktivität in NN und Ovarien ab. Es wird versucht, die enzymhistochemischen Befunde mit den Ergebnissen der Untersuchungen über die Biosynthese der Steroidhormone in Beziehung zu setzen.
