In this paper a previous interpretation given by the authors concerning one of the ways varicocele can affect fertility is confirmed. Moreover, it is definitely demonstrated that the high temperature stimulates inhibin secretion (and probably the testosterone-estradiol conversion) in the Sertoli cells, while the somatomedin secretion in vitro seems to be unaffected. It means that the action of the temperature on the germinal cells seems to be mediated by the pathway: inhibin (plus estradiol)-->pituitary-->FSH. Inhibin in the Golgi complex of Sertoli and germinal cells has been detected by electron microscopical immunocytochemical techniques.

Abstract
In this paper a previous interpretation given by the authors concerning one of the ways varicocele can affect fertility is confirmed. Moreover, it is definitely demonstrated that the high temperature stimulates inhibin secretion (and probably the testosterone-estradiol conversion) in the Sertoli cells, while the somatomedin secretion in vitro seems to be unaffected. It means that the action of the temperature on the germinal cells seems to be mediated by the pathway: inhibin (plus estradiol)-->pituitary-->FSH. Inhibin in the Golgi complex of Sertoli and germinal cells has been detected by electron microscopical immunocytochemical techniques.
