摘要: Summary By using high doses of testosterone propionate (TP) endogenous FSH was lowered to non-detectable levels in immature rats different ages. Combined administration TP and human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) or purified (hFSH) restored circulating normal supranormal levels. This experimental model used investigate the influences hormones on proliferation Sertoli germ cells. Mitoses seminiferous tubules were counted after being blocked by colchicine. The mitotic index so determined showed a reduction with withdrawal significant increase when hormone restored. Testicular DNA content testicular homogenates similar changes. Autoradiographs prepared 3H-thymidine incorporation into cells quantified. It found that hFSH induced labelling indices gonocytes, type A-spermatogonia All these changes effective younger than 10 days but no modifications any parameters under study observed 20 days. is concluded exerts stimulatory effect spermatogonia, during first life.
