Testicular blood flow and testosterone concentration in spermatic venous blood of anaesthetized rats.
Testicular blood flow was measured by a radioactive microsphere technique. A significant correlation, rs equal to 0.82, was found between testicular blood flow and testosterone outflow in the spermatic venous blood, indicating that factors which affect the testicular circulation may influence testicular endocrine function.
