Apoptosis and mitosis in gonocytes of the rat testis during foetal and neonatal development
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
This study was undertaken to determine the extent of apoptosis and mitosis in the various testicular cell types throughout rat development from foetal day 14.5 to postnatal days 9-10. Apoptotic activity was studied by detecting DNA fragmentation (TUNEL method) in situ. A TUNEL-positive reaction was detected in gonocytes, while none of the other testicular cells were labelled. The morphology of the TUNEL-positive...
