Administration of testosterone enanthate to adult female rats lowered the level of hepatic prolactin receptor. Pubertal exposure of intact female rats to testosterone enanthate at the dose used did not affect the level of hepatic prolactin receptor in adults. However, the responsivity of such treated rats to testosterone challenge in adulthood was enhanced. Prepubertal ovariectomy of female rats lowered the level of hepatic prolactin receptor in adulthood. Exposure of the ovariectomized rats during puberty to mestranol (ethynylestradiol 3-methyl ether) at the dose used did not restore the normal adult female rat's level of hepatic prolactin receptor. However, they did become more resistant to subsequent testosterone challenge in adulthood. Exposure of prepubescent ovariectomized rats to testosterone enanthate during puberty reduced the already diminished level of hepatic prolactin receptor further. In addition, these rats were rendered more responsive to testosterone challenge in adulthood.
