Summary Active male gerbils were rendered unilaterally cryptorchid and the enzymatic changes were studied after 48, 60 and 100 days. The histochemical observations revealed inhibition of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase, adenosine-tri-phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase activities in the germinal elements of the seminiferous tubules. The non-specific esterase and succinic dehydrogenase activities increased in the Leydig cells to certain extent. The sudanophilic lipids increased in the Sertoli cells and the interstitial cells. An attempt has been made to approach the intricate problem of the spermatogenesis in order to understand the sequence of certain enzymatic activities in the gerbil testis in which spermatogenesis is suppressed when one of the testes is lodged inside the abdominal cavity.
