Abstract:
The influence of ethanol on steroid biosynthesis in microsomal fraction of rat testes has been studied. Addition of ethanol in vitro as well as chronic alcoholization have been shown to change the activity of enzymatic ensembles of steroidogenesis in testes. A significant decrease in 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity, revealed in all experiments, has permitted the authors to conclude that this phenomenon is of special significance for the realization of gonads hormonal response to ethanol.
