The ovary of the domestic pigeon, Columba livia, has been assayed histochemically for the localization of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta 5-3 beta-HSDH), 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSDA), 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-HSDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) and NADH-diaphorase activities during different periods of the reproductive cycle. delta 5-3 beta-HSDH, 17 beta-HSDH, 11 beta-HSDH, G6P-DH and NADH-diaphorase activity was found in the theca interna of growing, atretic and postovulatory follicles, the granulosa of ovulatory, atretic and postovulatory follicles, and interstitial gland cells during the pre-incubation and the laying periods. During the incubation and squab feeding periods only delta 5-3 beta-HSDH, G6P-DH and NADH-diaphorase activities were observed in the above mentioned cells. The steroidogenic potential of atretic follicles depends upon the type of atresia a follicle undergoes.

Androgen level and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and NADP-diaphorase was studied in cultured Leydig cells obtained from testes of male mice from inbred strains KP and CBA following a single injection of cadmium chloride. Mice from CBA strain, known to be resistant to the toxic effects of cadmium showed no differences in the enzyme activity and endocrine function of gonads, as compared with control animals. In KP mice, sensitive to cadmium, a marked decrease of activity of all studied dehydrogenases, as well as a fall of androgen level was observed following cadmium administration. The decrease of hormone secretion occurred on the 2nd day of tissue culture and showed a correlation with the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity.
