[The effect of different cell concentrations and incubation time of testicular tissue testosterone synthesis].
The cells of the testes of mice were enzymatically separated and the amount of Leydig cells was determined in different stages of dispersion and after washing the separated tissue. This amount ranged from 2 to 9%. The largest quantity of Leydig cells (9%) was obtained when separated tubuli were washed. The response of cell suspensions at seven concentrations stimulated by human chorion gonadotrophin (HCG) was tested. Cell suspension concentrations from 5.3 x 10(5) to 1.4 x 10(6) cells/ml were found to be satisfactory. After two to three hours of incubation, the values of testosterone could be used for the determination of the activity of gonadotropic preparations.
