Abstract
Secretion of progesterone (P-4) estradiol (E(4)) and androgen (A) by f ollicular (FC) and interstitial (IC) cells isolated from carp ovaries at prespawning (April) and resting time (December) was investigated. C ells were cultured as separate monolayers. FC secreted more P-4 and E( 2) than corresponding IC. At the time of diapause there was no signifi cant difference in P-4 and E(2) secretion by both FC and IC. However, secretion of A, which declined in cultures of FC, had an increasing te ndency in cultures of IC. It seems that interstitial tissue is the mai n source of androgen in the carp ovary.
