Effect of FSH on testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in gonadotrophin-deficient hypogonadal mice lacking androgen receptors [PDF]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and androgen act to stimulate and maintain spermatogenesis. FSH acts directly on the Sertoli cells to stimulate germ cell number and acts indirectly to increase androgen production by the Leydig cells.

Androgen action via testicular arteriole smooth muscle cells is important for leydig cell function, vasomotion and testicular fluid dynamics [PDF]
Regulation of blood flow through the testicular microvasculature by vasomotion is thought to be important for normal testis function as it regulates interstitial fluid (IF) dynamics which is an important intra-testicular transport medium.

Socio-economic inequalities in testicular cancer survival within two clinical studies. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men under 35 years of age, and has the highest survival for adult male malignancies. Despite the fact that survival is very high, there is evidence that survival differs between socio-economic ...

HNF1β is a sensitive and specific novel marker for yolk sac tumor: a tissue microarray analysis of 601 testicular germ cell tumors. [PDF]
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 beta (HNF1β) is a transcription factor which plays an important role during early organogenesis, especially of the pancreato-biliary and urogenital tract.

Testicular teratomas may present in both prepubertal and adult men; however, the prognosis differs greatly between these 2 populations. In children, teratomas (prepubertal type) most often occur before the age of 4, are generally seen in their pure form,

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 ...

Introduction In Western countries, the risk of a testicular germ cell tumor in men with male factor infertility is greater than in the general population. However, Japanese data on this risk are lacking.

Occurrence of testicular microlithiasis in androgen insensitive hypogonadal mice [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Testicular microliths are calcifications found within the seminiferous tubules. In humans, testicular microlithiasis (TM) has an unknown etiology but may be significantly associated with testicular germ cell tumors ...
