developmental studies of seminiferous tubules structure of buffalo testis
introduction: the sexual maturity is a major factor of fertility and reproduction activity. since no information was availabe about microscopic developement of seminiferous tubules structure including spermatogenic cells, sertoli, pgc (primordial germ cell) and laydig cells, the present detailed study on buffalo testis was undertaken. materials and methods: the present study was made on 30 buff...
متن کاملThe content of five sex steroids in human testis.
In order to assess whether intratesticular hormone content may be helpful for prediction of successful conception in men with fertility problems, five sex steroids, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, androstenedione, estradiol and, for the first time epitestosterone, were measured in testicular tissue obtained by surgical retrieval from total 84 men. The group consisted of non-obstructive azoos...
متن کاملTestosterone autoregulation of its biosynthesis in the rat testis: inhibition of 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity.
Using the in vitro perfused rat testis, the effects of testosterone (T) on its own biosynthesis, and in particular on the inhibition of specific steroidogenic step(s) in the biosynthetic pathway from cholesterol to T, were examined. Rat testes perfused in vitro for 1 hour with medium containing 1.5 microM T secreted significantly less T than control testes in response to physiologic or maximal ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of guanidinoacetic acid in isolated renal tubules.
Guanidinoacetic acid, a precursor of creatine, is an essential substrate for muscle energy metabolism. Since guanidinoacetic acid has been reported to be synthesized from arginine and glycine by glycine amidinotransferase (transamidinase) in kidney homogenates or slices, the purpose of this study was to provide evidence of guanidinoacetic acid synthesis in isolated tubules from rat kidneys, and...
متن کاملby isolated rat renal tubules
1. The effect of glucocorticoids on the deiodination of thyroxine (T,) to 3,5,3’-trbiodothyronine (T,) was studied in rat renal tubules prepared by collagenase digestion. 2. In short-term (6 h) experiments, cortisol and dexamethasone inhibited the conversion of T, into T, at concentrations of 2 x lo-, moll1 and 2 x mol/l respectively. The inhibition by cortisol and dexamethasone was time depend...
