300 ppm of thiourea solution was found to produce significant decline in the interstitial cells of the testes of Mystus (M) vittatus. The regressive changes have been observed both in the number and the size (diameter) of these cells. The thiourea though could not bring about appreciable changes up to the second week, but during third and fourth week marked cellular regression in the interstitial cells has been recorded. Such cellular changes appear to influence the development of the genital papilla and caudal thickening (the secondary sexual characters - SSC) in the male specimens. Changes in the interstitial cells indicative of gonadal steroidogenesis correlated with the SSC is for the first time reported in a tropical fish. Interesting findings have been described and discussed.
已发现300 ppm的硫脲溶液会使细纹鳠（Mystus vittatus，M）睾丸的间质细胞显著减少。已观察到这些细胞在数量和大小（直径）上都有退行性变化。硫脲在第二周之前虽然没有引起明显变化，但在第三周和第四周期间，间质细胞出现了明显的细胞退行性变化。这种细胞变化似乎会影响雄性标本中生殖乳头和尾鳍增厚（第二性征 - SSC）的发育。首次在热带鱼中报道了表明性腺类固醇生成的间质细胞变化与第二性征之间的相关性。已对有趣的发现进行了描述和讨论。
