Estrogen dramatically decreases albumin mRNA levels and albumin synthesis in Xenopus laevis liver.

The levels of albumin mRNA in Xenopus laevis liver were measured at various times after injection of estradiol using two different methods involving hybridization of cloned albumin cDNA to total liver RNA. The absolute levels of albumin mRNA fell by more than 95% during the first 4 days following estrogen treatment, then slowly returned to normal levels over the following 12 days. Albumin synthesis paralleled the albumin mRNA levels during the first 8 days after injection; but, 16 and 32 days after injection, albumin synthesis again decreased while albumin mRNA remained at normal levels. The time courses of the effects of estrogen on albumin and vitellogenin mRNA levels were different. Whereas albumin mRNA levels were minimal 4 days after estradiol injection, vitellogenin mRNA levels were maximal 8 days after injection.
