Abstract
The influence of Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) on some metabolic functions of Sertoli cells from peripubertal rats was investigated. Sertoli cells were isolated from the testes of 24-day-old animals and cultured at 32 degrees C in Eagle's MEM with or without 1 nM IGF-I. Sertoli cells cultured in the presence of IGF-I showed increased nuclear RNA polymerase activity (+80%) and augmented protein synthesis (+50%).Entities:
