Abstract

Expression of Ldh-a and Ldh-c mRNAs was examined in the rat testis. The mRNA levels of both Ldh-a and Ldh-c increase during testicular maturation. In the adult testis, Ldh-a mRNA is expressed maximally in primary spermatocytes. Comparison of the Ldh-a mRNA expression profile with its translation product suggests that this gene is translationally down-regulated during spermatogenesis.
