Apoptosis in the Rat Spermatogenic Epithelium Following Androgen Withdrawal: Changes in Apoptosis-Related Genes1
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death is an important regulatory event in spermatogenesis. However, the molecular events governing apoptosis have not been characterized. Using the Leydig cell-specific toxin ethane dimethanesulfonate (EDS) to withdraw androgen support, we have investigated the relationship between apoptosis and apoptosis-related genes. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected (i.p.) with 100 mg/kg EDS and...
