Sertoli cells from immature rats metabolized (3H) 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol to (3H) 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 16 alpha, 17 beta-triol and (3H) 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-17-one. This is the first report of 16 alpha-hydroxylation of 5 alpha-reduced androgens in the testis. FSH significantly stimulated 16 alpha-hydroxylation while LH significantly decreased this activity. 3 alpha-Hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-17-one was the major metabolite formed and its production was significantly increased in the presence of both LH and FSH, although FSH stimulation was significantly more than LH. The possible role of 16 alpha-hydroxylase in androgen metabolism by immature rat Sertoli cells is discussed.
