  • Title: In vitro synthesis of rat testicular androgen-binding protein (ABP).
    Author: Ritzén EM, Hagenäs L, Plöen L, French FS, Hansson V.

    Abstract:
    Testicular tissue from immature and adult rats shows in vitro synthesis of androgen-binding protein (ABP). The ABP synthesis is dependent on a complete tissue culture medium, the incubation temperature and the age of the rats. ABP synthesis is inhibited at 0 degrees C or in the presence of cycloheximide, puromycin or sodium fluoride. Immature (17-25-day-old rat) testes showed a higher rate of ABP synthesis per 100 mg tissue than adult rat testes during 'baseline' conditions (no additions to the medium). Addition of NIH-FSH-S10 or testosterone to the medium increases the production of ABP by the testicular minces. The in vitro techniques have proved to be useful for studies of direct hormonal influence on the Sertoli cell protein synthesis.
