The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin-based hormonal therapy on intratesticular testosterone levels and spermatogonial DNA synthesis in men with non-obstructive azoospermia

Abstract excerpt

The use of hormonal therapy in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is controversial because no information is available on how it affects intratesticular testosterone (ITT) levels and spermatogenic cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the ITT level and spermatogonial DNA synthesis, as determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression, before and after human chorionic...
