The steroidogenic response of the isolated rat testis to gonadotropic hormones was measured by radioimmunoassay of testosterone released during incubation in vitro with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Measurement of testosterone production by radioimmunoassay of incubation media was validated by reference to specific testosterone assays employing extraction and chromatography prior to measurement by competitive protein binding and radioimmunoassay. During incubation of individual testes in vitro, testosterone production rose slowly to the basal level of 100-200 ng/testis/4 hr. Addition of 20 ng (7.2 X 10-11M) HCG or 10-3M dibutyryl cyclic AMP caused a marked rise in testosterone production, detectable after IS min and increasing throughout the period of incubation. The decapsulated adult rat testis was extremely sensitive to gonadotropin stimulation in vitro, responding with increased testosterone release to as little as 1 mlU (0.2 ng) HCG, 2.5 mlU (0.7 ng) human LH, and 0...
