Rabbit antisera to ovine follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones were used in the indirect fluorescent antibody technique on sections of rat testis to detect intravenously injected FSH or LH. A direct method using ferritin-labelled rabbit anti-LH globulins was also performed on sections of testis from LH-injected rats. Follicle-stimulating hormone was localized in the Sertoli cells while LH appeared mainly in the interstitial and peritubular cells. These results agree with previous observations on the cellular distribution of both gonadotrophins in the rat testis.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
