Testosterone production in isolated Leydig cells from testes of immature and adult rats was stimulated by addition of LH in a dose dependent way. Hypophysectomy of adult rats had no influence on LH-stimulated testosterone production in isolated Leydig cells after 5 days. In contrast hypophysectomy of immature rats resulted after 5 days in an almost complete loss of LH sensitivity of isolated Leydig cells. Daily adminitration of FSH during 5 days starting immediately after hypophysectomy maintained LH responsiveness of isolated Leydig cells of immature rats. Also FSH administration starting on day 5 after hypophysectomy resulted in a restoration of LH responsiveness. Estradiol benzoate, injected simultaneously with FSH, abolished the FSH-induced LH responsiveness.
在未成熟和成年大鼠睾丸分离的睾丸间质细胞中,促黄体生成素(LH)以剂量依赖性方式刺激睾酮生成。成年大鼠垂体切除术后5天,对分离的睾丸间质细胞中LH刺激的睾酮生成没有影响。相比之下,未成熟大鼠垂体切除术后5天,分离的睾丸间质细胞对LH的敏感性几乎完全丧失。垂体切除术后立即开始连续5天每日给予促卵泡生成素(FSH),可维持未成熟大鼠分离的睾丸间质细胞对LH的反应性。垂体切除术后第5天开始给予FSH也可使LH反应性恢复。与FSH同时注射的苯甲酸雌二醇可消除FSH诱导的LH反应性。
