Abstract
Serum testosterone levels, testicular LH [lutropin] binding and the spermatogenic cycle were analyzed in rats 4 and 22 mo. of age. With age, serum testosterone levels decreased from 3.2-0.63 ng/ml serum. There was no age related decline in testicular LH binding or changes in the spermatogenic cycle.
