Abstract

The androgen secretion activities of recombinant Japanese eel follicle-stimulating hormone (rjeFSH) were investigated in immature and maturing eel testes. The rjeFSH stimulated testosterone (T) and 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) secretion in immature testis but not in maturing testis. This result suggests that eel FSH plays an important role through the sex steroid secretion in immature testis rather than in maturing testis.
