Hormonal induction of all stages of spermatogenesis in germ‐somatic cell coculture from immature Japanese eel testis
1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
In cultivated male eel, spermatogonia are the only germ cells present in testis. Our previous studies using an organ culture system have shown that gonadotropin and 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT, a potent androgen in teleost fishes) can induce all stages of spermatogenesis in vitro. for detailed investigation of the control mechanisms of spermatogenesis, especially of the interaction between germ cells and...
