Seasonal Expression of INSL3 and Lgr8/Insl3 Receptor Transcripts Indicates Variable Differentiation of Leydig Cells in the Roe Deer Testis
1 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Roe deer are seasonal breeders and show cyclic variation in testicular volume and cellular differentiation within the tubular and interstitial testis compartment. We have employed the roe deer as a model to elucidate the expression of the postpubertal Leydig cell marker INSL3 during seasonal changes in Leydig cell differentiation. Roe deer testis and serum samples were collected bimonthly throughout the complete...
