The rapid involution of the rat ventral prostate after castration is an active process initiated by removal of the inhibitory effects of androgen on prostatic cell death. The present studies demonstrate that after castration-induced androgen deprivation a series of temporally discrete biochemical events are activated which result in the rapid programmed death of the subset of androgen-dependent cells within the rat ventral prostate. These biochemical steps involve 1) rapid loss of nuclear androgen receptor retention; by 12 h after castration, androgen receptors are no longer detectable in ventral prostatic nuclei; 2) an initial fragmentation of nuclear DNA into low mol wt (
