Light and electron microscopic studies of the gonads of the fetal horse have shown that, in their hypertrophic condition which begins during the 3rd month, the interstitial cells contain large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting a secretory activity. Hydroxylating activity which was cytochrome P-450-dependent was observed in the fetal testis and may be involved in steroid biosynthesis.
