Different modulation of aromatase activity in frog testis in vitro by ACE and ANG II

The aim of the present research was to study the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ANG II in amphibian (Rana esculenta) testicular steroidogenesis and prostaglandin production. Hormonal effects of ACE, ACE inhibitors, synthetic bullfrog ANG I and [Val5]ANG II were determined in frog te...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present research was to study the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ANG II in amphibian (Rana esculenta) testicular steroidogenesis and prostaglandin production. Hormonal effects of ACE, ACE inhibitors, synthetic bullfrog ANG I and [Val5]ANG II were determined in frog testis of prereproductive period.
