Abstract

It was shown, that in castrated rats dianabol (10 mg/kg of body mass daily for 7 days) inhibits the protein synthesis in thymus. The binding analysis of 3H-dianabol showed the specific binding sites in thymic cytosol, which are identical to those for androgens. Isolated thymocytes didn't bind dianabol.
