* Our detailed quantification of hormones in the testicular vein of healthy men provides unprecedented insight into the endocrine function of the testis under physiological conditions. Although some measurements align with previous findings from varicocele, hernia, and infertile patients, others represent novel observations; most notably, the substantial concentrations of 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone in the testicular vein, suggesting their secretion by the testis.
