摘要

A growing body of evidence indicates that germ cells, at least in several mammalian species, are responsible for estrogen formation since they possess active aromatase. In seasonally breeding rodent, the bank vole, the length of photoperiod seems to be the primary environmental factor regulating annual changes in the reproductive activity. However, in this species gonadal steroidogenesis is still not well understood, neither the site of aromatization in testicular cells. In the bank vole testis, aromatase visualized by immunohistochemistry was found in Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, and germ cells: especially in spermatocytes and spermatids. Moreover, in the immuno-electron microscopic study, gold particles indicating aromatase were observed over the cytoplasm of elongated spermatids. The presence of aromatase and the activity of this enzyme were found in microsomal preparations of the whole testes and those of seminiferous tubules. This was measured by means of Western blot and the biochemical assay with tritiated androstenedione, respectively. Additionally, using radioimmunological assays testosterone and estradiol concentrations in homogenates were detected. All the studied parameters revealed close correlation with the length of photoperiod being evidently higher in animals kept in the long day conditions when compared with those from short light cycles.
