Abstract excerpt
Male juvenile spermatogonial depletion (jsd) mutant mice are sterile because of spermatogenic failure and so may provide a model for genetically caused human male infertility. To test the effects of testosterone suppression therapy on spermatogenesis in jsd/jsd mice, we treated them with Nal-Glu, a GnRH antagonist. Treatment with Nal-Glu at 2500 microg/kg/day was started at 5.5 or 8 weeks of age and continued for...
