Localization of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in Anguilla anguilla testis
The histochemical reaction for 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was applied to glutaraldehyde fixed eel testis and succesively processed for transmission electron microscopy. The reaction product was found only on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and in the intermembrane space of mitochondria of...

| Summary: | The histochemical reaction for 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was applied to glutaraldehyde fixed eel testis and succesively processed for transmission electron microscopy. The reaction product was found only on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and in the intermembrane space of mitochondria of the Leydig cells of hCG treated silver eels. The positive cytochemical reaction appears to be coupled with an enlargement of the Leydig cells and an increase of their smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
