Acute testicular ischemia results in germ cell-specific apoptosis in the rat

TT Turner, KSK Tung, H Tomomasa… - Biology of …, 1997 - academic.oup.com

Caspase-9-dependent pathway to murine germ cell apoptosis: mediation by oxidative stress, BAX, and caspase 2

JJ Lysiak, S Zheng, R Woodson, TT Turner - Cell and Tissue Research, 2007 - Springer
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of the testis results in germ-cell-specific apoptosis (GCA) and a
reduction in daily sperm production. This has been correlated with and is dependent upon …

Peptide and nonpeptide reactive oxygen scavengers provide partial rescue of the testis after torsion

JJ Lysiak, QAT Nguyen, TT Turner - Journal of andrology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Ischemia‐reperfusion (IR) of the testis results in germ cell‐specific apoptosis, followed by a
reduction in testis weight and daily sperm production (DSP). This has been associated with …

The molecular pathology of experimental testicular torsion suggests adjunct therapy to surgical repair
