The Ultrastructural Changes of the Sertoli and Leydig Cells Following Streptozotocin Induced Diabetes
Objective(s) This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of diabetes on the structure and function of testicular tissue. Materials and Methods Diabetes was induced in male adult rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Body and testicular weight, hormonal analyses, histological and ultrastructural analyses were measured. Results The body and testicular we...
متن کاملEffect of extracellular matrix on testosterone production during in vitro culture of bovine testicular cells
Testosterone is believed to play a significant role in spermatogenesis, but its contribution to the process of spermatogenesis is not completely understood. Given that extracellular matrix (ECM) facilitates differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) during culture, the present study was conducted to elucidate whether testosterone contribute to the permissive effect of ECM on SSCs diffe...
متن کاملTesticular Development in Mice Lacking Receptors for Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Androgen
Post-natal testicular development is dependent on gonadotrophin and androgen stimulation. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts through receptors (FSHR) on the Sertoli cell to stimulate spermatogenesis while androgens promote testis growth through receptors (AR) on the Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and peritubular myoid cells. In this study we have examined the effects on testis development of ...
متن کاملTranscriptional profiling of luteinizing hormone receptor-deficient mice before and after testosterone treatment provides insight into the hormonal control of postnatal testicular development and Leydig cell differentiation.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a key regulator of male fertility through its effects on testosterone secretion by Leydig cells. Transcriptional control of this is, however, currently poorly understood. Mice in which the LH receptor is knocked out (LuRKO) show reduced testicular size, reduced testosterone, elevated serum LH, and a spermatogenic arrest that can be rescued by the administration of te...
متن کاملEffects of Citrus aurantium Fruit Extract on Spermatogenesis in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine disorders, which is associated with changes in testicular tissue. The present study investigated therapeutic and prophylactic properties of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) juice on testicular tissue and spermatogenesis process. ...
