[Production and metabolism of steroids by the testes (author's transl)].
Incubated rat testes produce not only testosterone but also 7 alpha-hydroxylated and 5 alpha-reduced testosterone metabolites. The ratio of the metabolites is modified progressively during the maturation of the testes and is also profoundly altered by the administration of HCG in adult rats.
