Testicular macrophages and Leydig cells were isolated from rat testis withtrypsin and collagenase treatment respectively.Peritoneal macrophages were obtainedfrom same species by peritoneal cavity lavage.When the testicular macrophages wereco-cultured with Leydig cells,the testosterone secretion was increased and themagnitude of the increased testosterone secretion was directly related to the numberof macrophages added to the cultures(control:6.3?1.5 pmol/10~6 cells,co-culture:9.1?0.9 pmol/10~6 cells,mean?SE,p
