Environmental toxicant-induced germ cell apoptosis in the human fetal testis

22 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Disorders of the male reproductive system are increasing in prevalence. The term testicular dysgenesis syndrome emphasizes the importance of developmental influences on the aetiology of conditions including cryptorchidism, testicular germ cell cancer and reduced spermatogenesis. Men whose mothers smoked during pregnancy have lower sperm production. Cigarette smoke contains agents acting on the aryl...
