Chronic Effects of Prepubertal Ethanol Administration on Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein in the Rat Ovary

Chronic Effects of Prepubertal Ethanol Administration on Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein... Background: A mitochondrial protein, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), plays an essential role in steroidogenesis by facilitating delivery of cholesterol across the mitochondrial membrane. Because ethanol (EtOH) causes suppressed estradiol (E2) secretion in prepubertal female rats and rhesus monkeys, we evaluated the effects of chronic EtOH administration on prepubertal ovarian StAR. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Wiley

Abstract

Background: A mitochondrial protein, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), plays an essential role in steroidogenesis by facilitating delivery of cholesterol across the mitochondrial membrane. Because ethanol (EtOH) causes suppressed estradiol (E2) secretion in prepubertal female rats and rhesus monkeys, we evaluated the effects of chronic EtOH administration on prepubertal ovarian StAR.
