The Expression of the Follicle-stimulating Hormone Receptor in Spermatogenesis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Results from experiments using mouse models suggest that the role of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in spermatogenesis is the regulation of Sertoli cell proliferation and, ultimately, the size and spermatogenic capacity of the testis. The regulation of the expression of the FSH receptor (FSHR) gene is very cell specific and plays an initial role in the ultimate response of the Sertoli cells to FSH. The...
