Formation of cyclic (c)AMP was studied in neonatal rat testis. In the presence of aminophylline, luteinizing hormone and PGE1 (prostaglandin E1) stimulated cAMP levels during the entire postnatal period. The highest stimulation was found in the testis of 2-day-old rats after which cAMP synthesis diminished with advancing age. Follicle stimulating hormone had no stimulatory effect on cAMP level in 5-day-old rats.
