Light microscopy characteristics of mature rat testes were studied in control and hyperprolactinemia rats. The number of cells defined as granulocytes in interstitial regions adjacent to seminal ducts at stage VII and XII of spermatogenesis has been calculated. Normal deference difference between these parameters diminish in hyperprolactinemia. It is suggested that prolactin participates in intratesticular paracrine mechanisms regulation.
