Abstract excerpt
In order to clarify the role of germ cells in the regulation of Sertoli cell secretions, three experimental models of germ cell depletion were used: hypodactyl rat mutation (testis weight [TW]: 55% less than controls), in utero busulfan treatment (TW: 88% less than controls), and neonatal experimental cryptorchidism (TW: 72% less than controls). The aim of this work was to compare the numbers of Leydig and...
