An intradermal injection of testicular interstitial fluid (IF) produced a marked increase in vasopermeability in a dose-dependent manner. Likewise bovine follicular fluid caused a smaller but significant response. The effect of IF was associated with accumulation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) inside the dermal venules and with their adherence to the venular endothelium. A minor but significant response was noticed after injecting anterior chamber fluid, but there was no response after an injection of amniotic fluid or serum intracutaneously. Destroying the Leydig cells with ethane dimethanesulphonate did not change the vasopermeability-increasing effect of IF, but after denaturation of IF proteins the effect was diminished by about 50%. Intravenous administration of hCG did not increase the ability of IF to cause the effect. These results suggest that rat testicular interstitial fluid contains mediators of vasopermeability, probably specific for the testis and also follicular fluid. The vasopermeability effect of IF does not seem to depend on the collecting time or on Leydig cells and is at least partly mediated by PMNs which are seen in the dermal venules shortly after an injection of IF.
