1 Sterling-Winthrop Research Institute,
Rensselaer, New York 12144 Orally administered danazol decreased the concentration of parenterally administered [3H]-estradiol in pituitary and hypothalamus, but not in cerebral cortex, relative to plasma levels of
labeled hormone in adult, ovariectomized rats. Similarly, danazol increased the amounts of estradiol
receptors in pituitary nuclei of these animals. These findings are consistent with the concept that
danazol acts at the level of the pituitary and (probably) the hypothalamus in rats to inhibit the
production and/or release of gonadotropins.
