Abstract
Inhibin bioactivity and mRNA for inhibin subunits were measured in four dog Sertoli cell tumours and in the testes of five normal control dogs. The tumours contained increased levels of inhibin (P P = 0·01), indicating that it might be possible to use this parameter as a marker for Sertoli cell tumours. Other testicular tumours, however, might also secrete immunoactive inhibin. The increased inhibin concentrations are likely to be the cause of the suppressed peripheral levels of FSH (P P P Journal of Endocrinology (1990) 127, 235–242This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
