Oestradiol-induced spermatogenesis requires a functional androgen receptor
10 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Spermatogenesis requires androgen but, paradoxically, oestradiol (E2) treatment stimulates spermatogenic development in gonadotrophin- and androgen-deficient hypogonadal (hpg) mice. The mechanisms of E2-induced spermatogenesis were investigated by determining intratesticular E2 levels and testis cell populations in E2-treated hpg male mice, and E2 spermatogenic actions were determined in androgen...
