Intratesticular feedback mechanisms in the regulation of steroid profiles in the frog, Rana esculenta

Testosterone (T), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol-17β (E), and progesterone (P) were measured in the plasma of the frog, Rana esculenta, during the annual cycle. Moreover, in vitro experiments were carried out in order to investigate the local regulation of steroidogenesis. Testosterone and...

description Testosterone (T), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol-17β (E), and progesterone (P) were measured in the plasma of the frog, Rana esculenta, during the annual cycle. Moreover, in vitro experiments were carried out in order to investigate the local regulation of steroidogenesis. Testosterone and DHT showed high values during autumn and early spring and had a T DHT ratio which increased during summer, while E peaked in midspring, remaining at detectable values thereafter. Progesterone increased in autumn, winter, and spring. In vitro incubations of minced testes showed that E, stimulated by pituitary factors, inhibited androgen synthesis while T did not. Our results indicate that paracrine and/or autocrine mechanisms operate in the frog testis to regulate annual steroid profiles.
