摘要: Abstract Testicular peritubular cells produce a paracrine factor termed PModS that mediates mesenchymal-epithelial interactions and modulates Sertoli cell functions essential for the process of spermatogenesis. lactate as preferred energy metabolite developing spermatogenic cells. The current study was designed to examine actions hormones on production at various stages pubertal development. were isolated from pre-pubertal (10 day), midpubertal (20 day) late (35 rat testes. Lactate accumulation in conditioned-medium cultured measured. Basal increased approximately fivefold during Therefore, increases differentiates ability regulatory agents such FSH or combination FSH, insulin, retinol testosterone (FIRT) stimulate decreased development differentiation increased. Purified stimulated preparations throughout had greater effect than stimulating production. with FIRT resulted an additive stimulation suggesting distinct mechanism action PModS. Observations support proposal locally produced these promote differentiated (i.e. production) required
