Oestrogens and spermatogenesis [PDF]
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 ...

The Dnmt3L ADD Domain Controls Cytosine Methylation Establishment during Spermatogenesis [PDF]
A critical aspect of mammalian gametogenesis is the reprogramming of genomic DNA methylation. The catalytically inactive adaptor Dnmt3L is essential to ensuring this occurs correctly, but the mechanism by which it functions is unclear.

Background The microscopic process of postnatal testicular development in early-puberty animals is poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, 21 male Yiling goats with average ages of 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 days old (each age group comprised ...

Genes Regulating Spermatogenesis and Sperm Function Associated With Rare Disorders
Spermatogenesis is a cell differentiation process that ensures the production of fertilizing sperm, which ultimately fuse with an egg to form a zygote.

Testicular miRNAs in relation to spermatogenesis, spermatogonial stem cells and cancer/testis genes
The process of spermatogenesis in human involves three organized biological processes, through which spermatogonia cells undergo mitosis, meiosis and finally differentiation into mature spermatozoa.

Testicular development in mice lacking receptors for follicle stimulating hormone and androgen [PDF]
Post-natal testicular development is dependent on gonadotrophin and androgen stimulation. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts through receptors (FSHR) on the Sertoli cell to stimulate spermatogenesis while androgens promote testis growth through ...

Transcriptional Profiling of Luteinizing Hormone Receptor-Deficient Mice Before and after Testosterone Treatment Provides Insight into the Hormonal Control of Postnatal Testicular Development and Leydig Cell Differentiation [PDF]
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a key regulator of male fertility through its effects on testosterone secretion by Leydig cells. Transcriptional control of this is, however, currently poorly understood.

Gene expression profiles of mouse spermatogenesis during recovery from irradiation
Background Irradiation or chemotherapy that suspend normal spermatogenesis is commonly used to treat various cancers. Fortunately, spermatogenesis in many cases can be restored after such treatments but knowledge is limited about the re-initiation ...

In Vitro Spermatogenesis in Explanted Adult Mouse Testis Tissues. [PDF]
Research on in vitro spermatogenesis is important for elucidating the spermatogenic mechanism. We previously developed an organ culture method which can support spermatogenesis from spermatogonial stem cells up to sperm formation using immature mouse ...
