The effects of diet composition and starvation on the inducibility by estradiol of uterine glucose-6-dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity in mature ovariectomized rats has been evaluated. Starvation for 5 days and feeding a purified protein-free diet for 3 days caused a maximal increase in the inducibility of uterine G6PD activity relative to animals fed a basal diet. Inducibility of the enzyme was decreased as the amount of casein in the diet was increased from 0–45% and refeeding protein began to reverse the effect of protein deprivation on the inducibility of the enzyme within 24 h. The basal level of uterine G6PD activity was unchanged by diet or starvation, and the increased inducibility by estradiol in starved and/or proteindeprived rats was due to a 2-fold increase in the relative de novo rate of G6PD synthesis. The uterine binding and retention of [3H]estradiol given in vivo was increased by 40% in starved and/ or protein-deprived rats, and this increase appeared to be due to an increase in the estradiol...
