The effects of long-term ovariectomy and replacement with ovarian steroids on the levels of brain and liver somatogenic binding sites as well as plasma and liver growth hormone (GH) were studied in sham-operated (Sham) and ovariectomized female rats receiving either, 17 beta-estradiol (OVX-E), progesterone (OVX-P), or vehicle (OVX). Long-term ovariectomy decreased the levels of somatogenic binding sites in the choroid plexus and liver as well as GH in plasma and liver. The levels of these sites in the choroid plexus were partially restored only by estradiol replacement. Moreover, exogenous estradiol but not progesterone restored the levels of plasma and liver GH as well as liver somatogenic binding sites. Our results suggest that estrogens regulate the levels of somatogenic binding sites in the liver and choroid plexus.
