Lack of Androgen Receptor Expression in Sertoli Cells Accounts for the Absence of Anti-Mullerian Hormone Repression during Early Human Testis Development
11 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Puberty is associated with increased testicular testosterone (TT) synthesis, which is required to trigger spermatogenesis and to repress anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) production. However, testicular gonadotropin stimulation during fetal and newborn life neither initiates spermatogenesis nor represses AMH. OBJECTIVE: We postulated that a lack of androgen receptor (AR) expression in Sertoli cells (SC) might...
