Cytokines and junction restructuring during spermatogenesis - A lesson to learn from the testis [PDF]
In the mammalian testis, preleptotene and leptotene spermatocytes residing in the basal compartment of the seminiferous epithelium must traverse the blood-testis barrier (BTB) at late stage VIII through early stage IX of the epithelial cycle during ...

Inhibin immunoreactivity in gonadal and non-gonadal tumors [PDF]
Inhibin immunoreactivity was estimated in a number of gonadal and non-gonadal tumors. Dog Sertoli cell tumors and human granulosa cell and Leydig cell tumors contained high concentrations of inhibin-like material.

Spermatogenesis and sertoli cell activity in mice lacking Sertoli cell receptors for follicle stimulating hormone and androgen [PDF]
Spermatogenesis in the adult male depends on the action of FSH and androgen. Ablation of either hormone has deleterious effects on Sertoli cell function and the progression of germ cells through spermatogenesis.

SERTOLI - LEYDIG CELL TUMOR : A RARE OVARIAN TUMOR
Sertoli- Leydig cell tumor or "Androblastoma" or "Arrhenoblastoma" is a rare virilizing tumor of ovary, mostly with masculinizing features. Many but certainly not all tumors are hormonally active. Although classified under malignant tumors the degree of malignancy is less than that of ovarian carcinoma in general.
