The effect of ketanserin, an antagonist of 5-HT2A receptor of serotonin, added to the culture medium, on basal and LH-stimulated testosterone secretion was studied in primary cultures of adolescent rat Leydig cells. Ketanserin decreased the basal secretion of testosterone but showed an insignificant influence on the LH-stimulated process. It can be concluded that ketanserin may affect the testosterone-secreting cells by an indirect action at the vascular level as well as directly at the level of Leydig cells, at least in adolescent rats, leading to down-regulation of the basal testosterone secretion.
