Further studies on the synthesis and secretion of inhibin‐like material by rat ventral prostate explants in vitro

Abstract
To authenticate further the testicular androgen independent status of synthesis and secretion of inhibin‐like material by the rat ventral prostate, explants of this organ were maintained for a period of 6 days in vitro, altering the kind of medium used for culture. The various spent media had significant inhibin‐like activity despite the absence of sera supplement in some cases.
