Opposing Roles of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 and Humanin in the Regulation of Testicular Germ Cell Apoptosis
2 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Modulating germ cell death and survival have significant therapeutic potential for male infertility and contraception. We have shown previously that IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) gene expression is up-regulated in human testis when germ cell apoptosis is induced by intratesticular hormonal deprivation created by testosterone administration. Humanin (HN) is a binding partner of IGFBP3, and both are expressed in...
