The objective of this study was to evaluate the reproductive risk associated with exposure of
adult male Fisher-344 rats to inhaled benzo (a) pyrene (BaP). Rats were assigned randomly …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the reproductive risk associated with exposure of
adult male Fisher-344 (F-344) rats to inhaled benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), a ubiquitous …

The objective was to characterize testicular development in Blackbelly sheep, focusing
primarily on Sertoli cell number. Lambs (n= 43) were allotted into eight groups, and …

Abstract Recently, in the United States, a dairy bull was diagnosed as the second confirmed
case of persistent testicular infection (PTI) with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The first …

Adhesion molecules are expressed by both adult and embryonic stem cells, with different
classes of adhesion molecules involved in cell-membrane and intercellular contacts. In this …

Pronuclear injection has been a successful strategy for generating genetically engineered
mouse models to better understand the functionality of genes. A characteristic of pronuclear …

GATA-4 is a transcription factor expressed in Sertoli cells and less commonly in Leydig
(interstitial) cells but not germ cells in adult human beings, cattle, pigs, and mice. We …

There is growing interest in using wild animals to monitor the real-life cocktail effect of
environmental chemicals on male reproduction. However, practical difficulties, such as long …

In prepubertal males, FSH facilitates Sertoli cell proliferation and testis maturation. The study
aimed to determine the effect of an exogenous FSH treatment on hormone secretion and …

In prepubertal bulls, FSH facilitates testis maturation and a transient proliferation of Sertoli
cells. Two experiments examined the effects of exogenous FSH on hormone secretion and …
