Abstract excerpt

This study evaluated the role of FSH and activin A on testicular function using quantitative stereological analysis of testicular cell types in mice with targeted disruption of genes encoding the FSH beta-subunit and the activin type IIA receptor (ActRIIA). Using the optical dissector technique, the numbers of Sertoli cells and germ cells per testis were determined. Testis weights in homozygous males lacking the...
