Effect of in vitro administration of LH, prolactin separately and LH and prolactin in mixture, on cultured Leydig cells from mouse testes: I. Changes of delta 5, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase during postnatal life.

Activity of delta 5, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in cultured Leydig cells isolated from mouse testes of various age was quantitatively investigated. Activity of delta 5, 3 beta-HSD was low in testes after birth and increased in 21 day old mouse, and then decreased in Leydig cells of 28 day old animals. Maximum activity of dehydrogenase within Leydig cells was observed in 60 day old mice and then gradually declined simultaneously with ageing process. Significant increase of enzymes activity was observed in Leydig cells cultured in medium containing a mixture of 100 ng LH and 100 ng PRL/ml. Doses of either 100 ng LH alone or 100 ng PRL alone showed higher stimulation than lower doses of 10 ng. Changes of activity were statistically significant.

Effect of in vitro administration of LH, prolactin separately, and LH and prolactin in mixture on cultured Leydig cells from mouse testes: II. Age-related alterations of androgen secretion.

The effect of gonadotropic hormones on androgen level in media of cultured Leydig cells isolated from mouse testes of various age was investigated. Changes of androgen level were connected with the age of mice. The highest secretory level of androgen was found in cultures of Leydig cells from mature 60 day old animals, which then decreased in 7 month old mice. Stimulating effect of LH and PRL on hormonal secretion by cultured Leydig cells was observed.

[Evaluation of functional periodicity of the pituitary gland by harmonic analysis.--III Circadian prolactin secretion in subjects with prolactin-secreting adenoma].

The 24-hour periodicity of PRL secretion in 7 prolactinoma subjects of both sexes has been studied by means of the Fourier's harmonic analysis. In all cases elevated PRL titres have been found, that did not show the physiological changes due to sleep and wake. In most of the cases could not be demonstrated either a significant secretory periodicity or secretory episodes occurred with a frequency higher than in the control groups. Such secretory features may depend on changes in the neoplastic cells' receptors for regulating neurotransmitters.
