The effects of follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) on testicular steroidogenic activity has been studied by testing the capacity of conditioned medium (CM) by both unstimulated (control) Sertoli cells (C-CM) and FSH stimulated Sertoli cells (FSH-CM) to influence porcine cultured Leydig cell activity. Leydig cells cultured in FSH-CM for 48 hrs, as compared to C-CM, show a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in [125I]-hCG binding (150% +/- 4) and hCG-stimulated testosterone (T) secretion (266% +/- 42). In addition, the stimulating effect of FSH-CM on Leydig cell function as compared to C-CM, is trypsin sensitive, non dialyzable, heat stable, acid resistant and is chromatographed following gel filtration (Sephadex G 100) into two different peaks of activity. These data suggest that FSH regulates Leydig cell function via (at least two types of) Sertoli cell secreted proteins.
