A Radioimmunoassay for Rat Plasma ACTH

TL;DR: A radioimmunoassay of plasma ACTH, useful for several mammalian species, has been adapted for the rat and binding studies showed that the antibody bound most effectively with the 1–24 fragment and nearly as effectively withThe 1–39 native human and porcine molecules.

Proof of the hepatic synthesis of a sex-dependent protein in the rat.

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate the hepatic synthesis of the sex-related α 2 -globulin originally isolated from male rat urine, previously purified from the urine of male rats, in the liver, kidneys and serum.

Hormonal regulation of the hepatic messenger RNA levels for alpha2u globulin.

TL;DR: The results indicate that hormonal control of alpha2u globulin synthesis in rat liver is achieved primarily through regulation of its translatable mRNA level and that more than one hormone may participate in this regulation.

Preparation and characterization of a sex-dependent rat urinary protein

TL;DR: A major urinary protein of the male rat was purified by a combination of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and migrated similarly to one of the major components of the total urinary proteins previously designated as a α 2 -globulin.
