수컷 흰쥐에서 각기 다른 일령에 한쪽 고환을 제거하고 일정한 시간경과 후 남아 있는 고환 간질세포의 형태계측학적인 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다.
출생 후 20, 30, 40, 50 및 60일령 (n=18마리/일령)의 흰쥐 한쪽 고환을 거세한 후 100일령에 희생시켜 실험에 이용하였다. 흰쥐를 전신관류고정하고 고환을 적출 한 후 조직 처리과정을 거쳐 초박절편한 다음 methylene-blue 염색을 하여 일반적인 조직학적인 변화를 관찰하고 형태계측을 시행하였다. 황체형성호르몬 자극에 대한 고환내 테스토스테론 생성과 혈청내 테스토스테론 농도는 방사면역측정법을 이용하여 측정하였다.
실험군과 대조군의 몸무게는 차이가 없었지만 대조군이 실험군보다 그 값이 높았으며 고환 무게도 유의성 있는 차이는 없었으나 30, 40 및 60일령에 거세한 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 약간 높았다. 곱슬정세관, 간질조직 및 간질세포의 용적치밀도는 영향이 없었으나 절대용적은 20, 30 및 40일령에 거세한 실험군에서 유의성 있게 증가 하였다(p＜0.05). 고환조직 당 간질세포의 총 숫자는 60일령을 제외한 전 실험군에서 유의성 있게 증가하였다(p＜0.05). 간질세포의 평균용적, 혈청내 테스토스테론농도 및 황체형성호르몬자극에 대한 고환내 테스토스테론 분비는 30일과 40일령에 거세한 실험군에서 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있게 증가하였다(p＜0.05).
이상을 종합하면 흰쥐에서 30일령과 40일령에 한쪽 고환을 거세하면 성 성숙후에 남아 있는 고환의 보상작용으로 간질세포의 크기와 분비가 증가함을 확인하였고 흰쥐에서 성 성숙이 이루어지는 즈음에 거세를 하면 간질세포의 보상작용이 이루어지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of hemicastration and age at hemicastraion on the subsequent Leydig cell morphology and function of male rats. Sprague Dawley rats were left intact or hemicastrated at 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 days of age (n=18 rats per group). At 100 days of age, all rats were sacrificed. Testes were fixed by whole body perfusion using a fixative containing 2.5% glutaraldehyde in cacodylate buffer, processed and embedded in Epon-araldite. Using 1 ㎛ sections stained with methylene blue, qualitative and quantitative morphological studies were performed. Testis incubations were used to determine lutenizing hormone (LH; 100ng/㎖) stimulated testosterone secretory capacity per testis in vitro. Testosterone levels in the incubation medium, and testosterone and LH levels in serum of these six groups of rats were determined by radioimmunoassay. Body and testis weights were not changed by hemicastration between experimental and control groups. Volume density of seminiferous tubules, interstitium, and Leydig cells was not significantly affected by hemicastration. Absolute volume of seminiferous and interstitium was significantly increased in unilaterally castrated rats at 20, 30 and 40 days of age compared to control. Significant increases in the total number of Leydig cells per testis occurred in rats hemicastrated at 20, 30, 40 and 50 days of age compared to control. A significant increase in average volume of a Leydig cell was noted in the hemicastrated rats at 30 and 40 days compared to intact rats of the same age but was significantly decreased at 60 days of age. Serum testosterone levels and LH-stimulated testosterone production per testis were significantly (P＜0.05) increased in the hemicastrated rats at 30 and 40 days. In summary, when rats were unilaterally castrated at 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 days of age, those rats hemicastrated at 30 and 40 days showed compensatory hypertrophy/hypersecretion of Leydig cells when killed at 100 days of age. Especially, these data suggested that compensatory hypertrophy/hypersecretion of Leydig cells in rats hemicastrated around the time of puberty occurs in the remaining testis.
