Glandular kallikrein has recently been identified as an estrogen-induced protein of the rat anterior pituitary. This study examined the dynamics of the estrogen induction of anterior pituitary glandular kallikrein in the ovariectomized rat. The estrogen induction of uterine dry weight was also examined for purposed of comparison. 17β-Estradiol (0.1–100 μg/day) produced dose-dependent increases in anterior pituitary glandular kallikrein, with the highest dose producing a 60-fold increase. Time-course studies demonstrated that a lag phase of 2–3 days was required before these estrogen effects on glandular kallikrein became evident, and levels were still rising between 7 and 10 days of treatment. The dynamics of the estrogen induction of glandular kallikrein resembled the estrogen induction of uterine dry weight with regard to estrogen sensitivity and the presence of a lag phase before estrogen-induced increases. However, uterine dry weight responde more rapidly to estrogen than did anterior pituitary glandular kallikrein, and reached a plateau after 5 days of estrogen treatment.
