Effect of germ cell depletion on levels of specific mRNA transcripts in mouse Sertoli cells and Leydig cells
11 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that testicular germ cell development is critically dependent upon somatic cell activity but, conversely, the extent to which germ cells normally regulate somatic cell function is less clear. This study was designed, therefore, to examine the effect of germ cell depletion on Sertoli cell and Leydig cell transcript levels. Mice were treated with busulphan to deplete the germ cell population and...
