Bromocriptine, a Dopamine Agonist, Directly Inhibits Testosterone Production by Rat Leydig Cells

Abstract: We investigated the direct effects of bromocriptine (BR) on both basal and hCG-stimulated testosterone production by rat collagenasedispersed Leydig cells. In a final volume of 2.2 ml, 2.106 Leydig cells were incubated at 33°C for 3 h either alone or with various amounts of hCG (1. 10.102. lo3. lo4 mUI/vial) and BR (1.5 lo-', 1.5 nificantly both basal and hCG-stimulated testosterone production whereas at lower doses, BR had nod effect.These results suggest that the dopamine itself may regulate rat Leydig cell … Show more
