Proteomic Changes in Rat Spermatogenesis in Response to In Vivo Androgen Manipulation; Impact on Meiotic Cells
30 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
The production of mature sperm is reliant on androgen action within the testis, and it is well established that androgens act on receptors within the somatic Sertoli cells to stimulate male germ cell development. Mice lacking Sertoli cell androgen receptors (AR) show late meiotic germ cell arrest, suggesting Sertoli cells transduce the androgenic stimulus co-ordinating this essential step in spermatogenesis. This...
