1 Tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 stimulate testosterone secretion in adult male rat Leydig cells in vitro. Testosterone tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus
2 The actions of two cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), on testosterone production by dispersed adult testis cells and purified Leydig cells in culture were studied. Testosterone tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus
3 Both TNF and IL-1 stimulated basal secretion of testosterone in whole testis cells, as well as purified Leydig cells. Testosterone tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus
4 Additionally, both TNF and IL-1 augmented maximally hCG stimulated testosterone secretion. Testosterone tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus
5 We have concluded from this data that TNF and IL-1 stimulate the testosterone secretion by adult rat Leydig cells. Testosterone tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus
