Spermatogenesis and Cryptorchidism
Cryptorchidism represents the most common endocrine disease in boys, with infertility more frequently observed in bilateral forms. It is also known that undescended testes, if untreated, lead to an increased risk of testicular tumors, usually seminomas, arising from mutant germ cells. In normal testes, germ cell development is an active process starting in the first months of life when the neon...
متن کاملStudies on spermatogenesis in rats. V. Increased thermal lability of lysosomes from testicular germinal cells and its possible relationship to impairments in spermatogenesis in cryptorchidism.
Lysosome-rich particles prepared from adult rat testes but not from liver released large amounts of various lysosomal enzymes into the supernatant medium when they were incubated at 37” at physiological PH. Evidence was presented that the thermally sensitive lysosomes were present in advanced germinal cells but not in spermatogonia. Lysosomal rich particles isolated from regressed testes, obtai...
متن کاملA quantitative (stereological) study of the effects of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism and subsequent orchiopexy on spermatogenesis in adult rabbit testis.
The aim of this study was to examine the controversial effects of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism and subsequent orchiopexy on the number of germ cells and other morphometric characteristics of testicular and epididymal structures in adult rabbits. Unilateral cryptorchidism was induced in 11 mature male New Zealand white rabbits by returning one testis, together with the ipsilateral epid...
متن کاملCryptorchidism and Steroid Hormones
Two important functions of testis are production of spermatozoa and synthesis of steroids. These functions depend on anatomical, hormonal and constitutional homeostasis and begin during the first stage of gestation. Cryptorchidism can be defined as an abnormal localization of one or both testes. It’s the failure of one or both testes descent into the scrotal sac. The third trimester in humans i...
متن کاملCryptorchidism and Fertility.
Cryptorchidism, the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum prenatally, occurs in 2.4%-5% of newborns. Many of these testes will descend spontaneously shortly after birth, but ~23% will remain undescended unless surgery is performed. Bilaterally cryptorchid men have a six times greater risk of being infertile when compared with unilaterally cryptorchid men and the general male...
