Current Biology, 2017 Most organisms consist of two cell lineages - somatic cells and germ cells. The former are required for the current generation, and the latter create offspring. Male and female germ cells are usually produced during spermatogenesis and oogenesis, which take place in the testis and the ovary, respectively. Spermatogenesis involves the differentiation of

Human Reproduction, 1998 Spermatogenesis is a complex process involving mitotic cell division, meiosis and the process of spermiogenesis. The regulation of spermatogenesis involves both endocrine and paracrine mechanisms. The endocrine stimulation of spermatogenesis involves both follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone, the latter acting through the ...

Spermatogenesis and Cryptorchidism [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 Cryptorchidism represents the most common endocrine disease in boys, with infertility more frequently observed in bilateral forms. It is also known that undescended testes, if untreated, lead to an increased risk of testicular tumors, usually seminomas, arising from mutant germ cells.

Estrogen and Spermatogenesis* [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 2001 AbstractAlthough it has been known for many years that estrogen administration has deleterious effects on male fertility, data from transgenic mice deficient in estrogen receptors or aromatase point to an essential physiological role for estrogen in male fertility.

Kinesins in spermatogenesis† [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 2017 Kinesins are essential for the proper function of many types of polar cells, including epithelial cells, neurons, and sperm. Spermatogenesis is closely associated with many different kinesins. These kinesins participate in several fundamental processes, including mitotic and meiotic division, essential organelle transport, and the biogenesis of ...

WormBook, 2006 Spermatogenesis creates functional sperm from an initially undifferentiated germ cell. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, both males and hermaphrodites engage in spermatogenesis. The hermaphrodite germ line, like that of the male, initiates spermatogenesis during the L4 larval stage.

The cytoskeleton in spermatogenesis [PDF]
Reproduction, 2019 Abstract As germ cells progress through spermatogenesis, they undergo a dramatic transformation, wherein a single, diploid spermatogonial stem cell ultimately produces thousands of highly specialised, haploid spermatozoa. The cytoskeleton is an integral aspect of all eukaryotic cells.

Spermatogenesis in the Microminipig [PDF]
Toxicologic Pathology, 2016 The microminipig has considerable potential as an animal model to evaluate general toxicity; however, there are few studies on the male reproductive system, particularly regarding spermatogenesis. The objectives of the present study were to clarify the stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle on the basis of spermiogenesis and to determine the ...

Oestrogens and spermatogenesis [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 The role of oestrogens in male reproductive tract physiology has for a long time been a subject of debate. The testis produces significant amounts of oestrogenic hormones, via aromatase, and oestrogen receptors (ERs)α (ESR1) and ERβ (ESR2) are selectively expressed in cells of the testis as well as the epididymal epithelium, depending upon species ...

BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Spermatogenesis is an intricate process regulated by a finely organized network. The orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) is a protogynous hermaphroditic fish, but the regulatory mechanism of its spermatogenesis is not well-understood.
