Abstract excerpt
Testicular function was studied in vivo and in vitro in adult male dy/dy and dy2J/dy2J dystrophic mice. The results demonstrate that testicular function in dy/dy mice is more affected. The basal levels of pituitary hormones measured were normal in dystrophic mice, except for the presence of hyperprolactinemia in dy/dy mice. In dy/dy mice testicular weight was diminished and a deficient transduction of the...
