β‐nerve growth factor participates in an auto/paracrine pathway of regulation of the meiotic differentiation of rat spermatocytes
29 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
NGF appears to be involved in spermatogenesis. However, mice lacking NGF or TrkA genes do not survive more than a few days whereas p75(NTR) knockout mice are viable and fertile. Therefore, we addressed the effect of betaNGF on spermatogenesis by using the systems of rat germ cell culture we established previously. betaNGF did not modify the number of Sertoli cells, pachytene spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes...
