Rat epididymal epithelial cells and 17beta-estradiol synthesis under hCG stimulation in vitro.
Epithelial cells of human and animal epididymis display features of steroidogenic cells. Rat epididymal epithelial cells in vitro produce androgens which are converted to 17beta-estradiol, and released into the medium. The regulation of the epididymal steroidogenesis is not fully understood but it c...
