Abstract
No 5.alpha.-reductase activity was found in plasma membranes from male rats hypothalami. Contrary to expectation, it was found that 5.alpha.-dihydrotestosterone which was synthetized in microsomes or nuclei, was accumulated in the plasma membranes. The significance of this fact is unknown.
