Possible involvement of microtubules and microfilaments of the epididymal epithelial cells in 17beta-estradiol synthesis.

The rat epididymal epithelial cells revealed features of steroidogenic cells and released 17beta-estradiol (E2) into the culture medium. In steroidogenic cells, elements of the cytoskeleton due to their influence on organelle distribution are implicated in the regulation of steroidogenesis. In the p...
