Peritubular cells of the seminiferous tubule synthesize component(s) that stimulate Sertoli cells in culture to increase the production of androgen-binding protein and testicular transferrin. The active peritubular cell component(s) are trypsin-sensitive, heat-sensitive, acid-stable molecule(s) having a molecular weight between 50,000 and 100,000. These specific factors(s) are referred to as P ...
The effect of endosulfan, an Organochlorine pesticide, on bluegill testes was studied. Endosulfan is aqua-toxic and has an immediate effect on fish and other aquatic life. In this experiment, we exposed the fish for 24-, 48-, 72-, 96-h, and 1- and 2-week periods. A second group of fish without exposure to endosulfan served as the control. The control testis appeared structurally normal. The sem...
Spermatogenesis is a complex process that cannot be modelled in vitro. The somatic Sertoli cells (SCs) within the seminiferous tubules perform a key role in supporting maturation of germ cells (GCs). Progress has been made in determining what aspects of SC function are critical to maintenance of fertility by developing rodent models based on the Cre/LoxP system; however, this is time-consuming ...
The universal importance of iron, its high toxicity, and complex chemistry present a challenge to biological systems in general and to protected compartments in particular. The high mitotic rate and avid mitochondriogenesis of developing male germ cells imply high iron requirements. Yet access to germ cells is tightly regulated by the blood-testis barrier that protects the meiotic and postmeiot...
The aims of this study were to investigate the adverse effects of sodium arsenite on the reproductive system of male rats as well as to examine whether vitamin E is able to ameliorate these effects. Adult rats were divided into four groups: 1/ control, 2/ sodium arsenite (8 mg/kg/day), 3/ vitamin E (100 mg/kg/day), and 4/ sodium arsenite +vitamin E group. Treatments were administered orally by ...
During spermatogenesis, the blood-testis barrier (BTB) segregates the adluminal (apical) and basal compartments in the seminiferous epithelium, thereby creating a privileged adluminal environment that allows post-meiotic spermatid development to proceed without interference of the host immune system. A key feature of the BTB is its continuous remodeling within the Sertoli cells, the major somat...
Wen-San Huang (1996) Reproductive cycles and sexual dimorphism in the viviparous skink, Spenomorphus indicus (Sauria: Scincidae), from Wushe, central Taiwan. Zoological Studies 35(1): 55-61. Seasonal variation in the male and female reproductive cycles of the viviparous scincid Sphenomorphus indicus is described in this study. Mean snout vent length (SVL) of adult females (n = 50) (range: 76 to...
rat has been studied. Differences in ionic, steroid and protein concentrations in the two fluids suggest that two different fluids are secreted, but from the numbers of sperm and the concentrations of inositol, it now seems more likely that all the fluid is secreted in the seminiferous tubules but that its composition is modified as it passes through the tubuli recti or when it reaches the rete...
AIM The present study compared the testicular cytology and histology between crossbred (Holstein-Friesian [HF] × Tharparkar) and purebred (HF and Tharparkar) bulls to find out differences if any. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four peripubertal bulls from each breed were utilized for the study. Through percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy, Sertoli and spermatogenic cells were extracted, and morphomet...
This study investigated the pattern and site of expression of the prolactin receptor gene in the testis and epididymis of red deer collected during the breeding season (n=3). Ribonuclease protection assays using 50 microg total RNA and a 300 bp [32P]-labelled antisense cRNA probe, generated from the extracellular domain of the red deer prolactin receptor, confirmed the expression of the recepto...
