Abstract
The increased usage of various types and sources of radiation in medicine and space explorations merits a closer examination of the effects of ionizing radiations on living matter. Although considerable research has been conducted in this field, many problems still remain unsolved. Of the many studies on the effects of radiation on the mammalian organism, very little information is available as to the effects of this treatment on the endocrine aspects of the testes. The objective of this investigation is to ascertain if irradiation has an immediate and direct effect on steroidogenesis by the testes.
