During incubation of fragments of seminiferous tubules in the absence of glucose, pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids died within 24 h, while Sertoli cells were still viable. The germ cells survived for at least 72 h in seminiferous tubule fragments which were incubated in the presence of glucose. Lactate rather than glucose is essential for [3H]uridine incorporation and survival of isolated pachytene spermatocytes. However, if the spermatocytes were incubated in the presence of Sertoli cells, glucose maintained the incorporation of [3H]uridine into the germ cells. Sertoli cells secreted lactate in the presence of glucose and the lactate secretion was stimulated 2--4-fold by FSH. It is concluded that the activity and survival of pachytene spermatocytes in vitro can be regulated by the supply of lactate from Sertoli cells.
