چکیده

The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes in selected biochemical variables in Sertoli cells isolated from testis of mice (PEPCK-bGH) overexpressing growth hormone. Significant increase in the levels of total proteins (108.33%; p<0.001), lactic acid (95.23%; p<0.001), DNA (155.42%; p<0.001) and RNA (90.00%; p<0.001) were observed in transgenic Sertoli cells as compared to normal Sertoli cells. Further, cultured transgenic Sertoli cells exhibited distinct nucleus over a period of 5 days and on day 7, exhibited accelerated proliferation as compared to normal Sertoli cells. From the results, it can be concluded that growth hormone at least in part mediates modulation of selected biochemical variables to influence Sertoli cell morphology thereby spermatogenesis in mice.

The complex process of spermatogenesis is regulated by various factors. Studies on spermatogonial stem cells (SCCs) have provided very important tool to improve herd genetic and different field. 0.2 to 0.3 percent of total cells of seminiferous tubules is consist of spermatogonial stem cells. To investigate and biomanipulation of these cells, proliferation and viability rate of cells should be ...

Background: Plant materials continue to play an important role in the maintenance of human health since antiquity. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant substances that can either mimic or antagonize the action of endogenous estrogens. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vitex agnus as a phytoestrogenic plants, essential oil on structure and morphology of seminiferous ...
