Experimental Cryptorchidism Induces Testicular Germ Cell Apoptosis by p53-Dependent and -Independent Pathways In Mice
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Cryptorchidism is associated with male infertility: germ cell loss occurs by apoptosis in response to elevated temperature. Since the tumor suppressor p53 is highly expressed in the testis and is known to induce apoptosis, an investigation was undertaken to establish whether heat stress causes p53-mediated germ cell apoptosis. Using a mouse model of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism, it was observed that...
