The Sertoli cells have been identified as the primary locus for creatine synthesis within the seminiferous epithelium. The purpose of the studies reported here was to examine the effect of modulators of Sertoli cell function on creatine secretion by primary cultures of these cells. Sertoli cell-enriched cultures, maintained in a defined medium, secreted creatine into the incubation medium in a manner that was linear with time over at least 6 h, but which had reached a plateau within 24 h. Secretion was stimulated by physiological and toxicological modulators of Sertoli cell function. Incubation of Sertoli cell-enriched cultures in the presence of FSH (&gt; or = 40 mU ml-1), dibutyryl cyclic AMP (&gt; or = 0.1 mmol l-1), mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (&gt; or = 1 mumol l-1) or cadmium (&gt; or = 3 mumol l-1) increased the secretion of creatine into the incubation medium by at least 85% over 24 h. Creatine secretion by Sertoli cell-enriched cultures, incubated over 4 h in a balanced salt solution, was independent of exogenous L-glutamine. However, the stimulation of secretion induced by 1 mmol dibutyryl cyclic AMP l-1 was dependent on the presence of 4 mmol L-glutamine l-1 in the incubation medium, which suggests that an increase in creatine secretion occurs as a consequence of stimulated glutamine oxidation.
