In the present study, we aimed to investigate contralateral testicular function after unilateral orchidectomy. The study comprised 20 Wistar Albino, male rats, 200-250 g in weight. In ten rats unilateral orchidectomy was performed while the remaining were Sham operated and taken as controls. After a period of 30 days, rats were sacrificed and all testes were harvested. Testicular function was evaluated with lactate dehydragenase-C4 (LDH-C4) isoenzyme in the testicular tissue. Testicular LDH-C4 isoenzyme was assessed by agarous gel electrophoresis method. LDH-C4 isoenzyme activities were found significantly (p UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/etd/article/343540 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/350078 ER -
