Abstract
The distribution of inhibin in rat testes of various ages indicates that (1) the direction of inhibin secretion is primarily systemic during the early phase of sexual maturation and (2) that during adult life, the secretion of inhibin systemically is dependent upon release of mature sperm adluminally.Keywords
