To study the hormonal dependence of the blood-testis barrier, adult rats were hypophysectomized and the ultrastructural integrity of the inter-Sertoli cell junctional complex was examined at various times with a lanthanum tracer technique. It was found that the structural integrity of the inter-Sertoli cell junctions and their capacity to exclude lanthanum from the adluminal compartment were preserved up to 35 days after hypophysectomy. Furthermore, transport of newly formed spermatocytes through the inter-Sertoli cell junctions still occurred 20 days after hypophysectomy. It is therefore concluded that the function of the inter-Sertoli cell junctional complex is not directly dependent on gonadotrophic or androgenic hormones, but is regulated by other mechanisms.
