Essential Role of Neutrophils in Germ Cell-Specific Apoptosis Following Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury of the Mouse Testis1
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the role of neutrophils in ischemia-induced aspermatogenesis in the mouse. Previous studies in the rat have demonstrated that ischemia-inducing testicular torsion followed by torsion repair and reperfusion resulted in germ cell-specific apoptosis. This was correlated with an increase in neutrophil adhesion to subtunical venules, an increase in reactive oxygen species, and increased...
