Testicular delta5-3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid in actinomycin D-treated toads.

Experientia

Testicular Leydig cells and 277-1277-1277-1dehydrogenase in cadmium-treated toads (Bufo melanostictus)

The enzyme Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was demonstrated histochemically in both the tubular and Leydig cells of the toad testes. Addition of 200 μg of dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) to 100 rag of testicular tissue slices increased the activity of Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, while a similar dose of ascorbic acid (AsA) failed to stimulate the enzyme. The evidence indicates that DHA participates in the activation of Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. © 1970 by The Endocrine Society.
