  • Title: Effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on the testicular delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteriod dehydrogenase and spermatogenesis in hibernating toad (Bufo melanostictus).
    Author: Patra PB, Biswas NM.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1976 Jun; 67(2):167-71. PubMed ID: 954688.
    Abstract:
    A histochemical study of testicular delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta 5-3 beta-OHD) and a quantitative study of seminiferous tubules in hibernating toad following the administration of HCG revealed stimulation in the activity of the enzyme delta 5-3 beta-OHD and the spermatogenesis by increasing spermiation, meiotic division and the maturation of secondary spermatogonia.
