Human immature germ cells and ejaculated spermatozoa contain aromatase and oestrogen receptors
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
It is now well established that oestrogens play a part in germ cell function. These hormones are synthesised by the cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450 arom) and act via two kinds of receptor (ERalpha and ERbeta). Although the presence of aromatase and oestrogen receptors in mammalian testis is now well documented, the localisation of these proteins in human germ cells is not yet clear. The primary purpose of the...
