Objective:To investigate the effect of mifepristone on basal or Human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG)-stimulated testosterone production.Methods:Adult Wistar rats were sacrificed and Leydig cells were collected for incubation with drugs.Testoserone levels in incubates was measured by radioimmunoassay.Results:The basal and the hCG-stimulated testosterone production of rat Leydig cells in 10μmol·L -1 mifepristone group was inhibited,and the suppression rate was 65 18% ( P 0 001) and 72 78% ( P 0 05),respectively.Conclusion:These data suggested that mifepristone have a direct effect on testosterone production of Leydig cells.
