Direct Effects of Retinoic Acid on Entry of Fetal Male Germ Cells into Meiosis in Mice1
9 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
In both male and female germ cells of mice, retinoic acid (RA) is a meiosis-inducing factor. In the present study, we used a germ cell culture system to examine the direct effects of RA on meiotic initiation in male germ cells at the stage when they normally enter mitotic arrest to determine the extent to which fetal male germ cells can respond to exogenous RA to alter their sex-specific pathway. Male germ cells...
