Abstract
LH (50 μg) given sc to normal mice and Leydig cell tumor bearing mice promoted a decrease in the content of esterified cholesterol in the testes of normal mice and in the tumor. The observation that LH promoted a change in the tumor ester cholesterol levels was interpreted to mean that its action on testicular ester levels was probably on the interstitial cells.
