title: Testosterone secretion of rat and mouse Leydig cells cultured at plates precoated with collagen taken from male and female rats.
abstract: Testosterone secretion by Leydig cells in vitro was significantly higher on male collagen coated, than on female collagen coated plates. The castration of male rat-donors of collagen demonstrated that 2 months of androgen deprivation eliminated the effect.
