Abstract
Determination of the free amino acid and lactate content of testicular tissue in rat, guinea pig, rabbit, cat, gerbil, hamster, chicken and bullfrog indicates a substantial species variation. Insulin hypoglycaemia and ammonium acetate toxicity changes the concentration of several free amino acids of rat testes. (14)C radioactivity from labelled acetate and ethanol is rapidly incorporated into some of the free amino acids of rat testes in vivo, whereas incorporation from [(14)C]glucose is relatively slow. These results have been compared with those obtained from similar studies with rat brain. In contrast to brain, there is no evidence for glutamate compartmentation in testes.
