Description and Table of Contents
Description
A comparative review of advances in the structure, biochemistry, function and intercellular communication at the molecular level in the testis of different groups of non-mammalian vertebrates and mammals, including ruminants and humans.
Table of Contents
- Comparative structural organization of testis and patterns of spermatogenesis
- comparative endocrine regulation of structure and functions of accessory somatic or sertoli and interstitial leydig cells
- comparative structural, chemical and functional aspects of somatic cells (sertoli cells and leydig cells), and their interactions with germ cells - synthesis of steroid hormones and polypeptides
- junctions and blood - testis barrier and transport of substances and cytoskeletal elements
- endocrine, paracrine and autocrine functions of secretary products of sertoli, germ, pertitubular and leydig cells and their regulation - polypeptides and their endocrine and paracrine functions and regulation of their expression
- phagocytic activity and its regulation and functional significance
- composition and function of seminiferous fluid
- functional relations between sertoli cells, germ cells and leydig cells
- concluding remarks and future perspectives.
