Androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization).

Androgen insensitivity (testicular feminization) syndrome is a rare inherited form of male pseudohermaphroditism that occurs in phenotypically normal women with adequate breast development, normal external genitalia, a vagina of variable depth, absent uterus, and sparse or absent pubic hair and axillary hair. These patients have male karyotype (XY) and negative sex chromatin. The gonad (undesce...

Seasonal Changes in the Testicular Size of Grazing Rams

Studies over 3 years showed that testicular volume falls during summer and autumn when forage quality and availability decline and when rams are mating. Loss in testicular size may also occur in summer in the absence of mating activity and at a greater rate than loss in live weight. The results suggest that mating and nutrition may override the influence of photoperiod on testicular size and th...

Testicular function following chemotherapy.

Testicular dysfunction is a common long-term sequela of cytotoxic chemotherapy used in the treatment of many malignancies. The degree to which testicular function is affected is dose- and agent-dependent. The impact on germinal epithelial function of standard multi-agent regimens used in the treatment of lymphomas has been widely studied. Procarbazine-containing regimens result in azoospermia i...
