Inhibin administered to adult male rats delayed the in-vivo pituitary responsiveness to thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) as observed in terms of prolactin release in the serum. It also decreased the sensitivity of the pituitary gland to TRH, in terms of TSH release. However, inhibin alone did not alter the serum levels of prolactin and TSH, although it significantly suppressed serum FSH levels. In addition, the inhibin effect on FSH release was blocked by TRH.

ABSTRACT
Immunoreactive inhibin-like material (ILM) was measured by radioimmunoassay in serum and gastric juice samples of 23 fasting normal men and 23 men with duodenal ulcers (DU). Concentrations of ILM in gastric juice and serum of patients with DU were significantly higher than those in normal men (P <0·01). A strong positive correlation (r = 0·894) was observed between pH and ILM levels in gastric juice of normal men but not in patients with DU. Inhibin-like material in the gastric juice had a chromatographic profile similar to that of human seminal plasma.

Rabbit antiserum to human seminal plasma inhibin (hSPI) was administered subcutaneously to developing male rats of 5, 10, 14, 17 and 24 days of age and the size of the endogenous FSH rise in serum was measured. The FSH levels were threefold higher on day 9 and 1·5-fold higher on days 14 and 18 when compared with levels in control rats treated with normal rabbit serum. Furthermore, the in-vitro binding capacity of pituitary plasma membrane to 125I-labelled hSPI declined with increase in age of the rats. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that the sensitivity of the testicular inhibin–FSH feedback relationship is related to age-dependent changes in pituitary binding of inhibin.
