Sertoli cells are somatic cells present in seminiferous tubules which have essential roles in
regulating spermatogenesis. Considering that each Sertoli cell is able to support a limited …

Testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are required to obtain full reproductive
potential. In the testis, somatic Sertoli cells transduce signals from testosterone and FSH into …

To present a coherent and meaningful survey of scientific research endeavour in an area
that has expanded as fast as physiology and biochemistry of reproduction in the male is no …

Proliferation of Sertoli cells during fetal and postnatal development of the rat was examined
and quantified with light microscope autoradiography. Fetuses in utero were injected …

Thyroid hormone is a critical regulator of growth, development and metabolism in virtually all
tissues, and altered thyroid status affects many organs and systems. Although for many …

Sertoli cell preparations isolated from 10-day-old rats were cultured on three different
substrates: plastic, a matrix deposited by co-culture of Sertoli and peritubular myoid cells …

The somatic Sertoli cell plays an essential role in embryonic determination of male somatic
sex and in spermatogenesis during adult life. One individual Sertoli cell supplies a clone of …

Follicle-stimulating hormone signaling is essential for the initiation and early stages of
spermatogenesis. Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is exclusively expressed in Sertoli …

Publisher Summary Many of the functions of the Sertoli cells are carried out by the protein
secretions of these cells. The use of Sertoli cell cultures and appropriate biochemical and …

More than a decade of research has shown that Sertoli cell proliferation is regulated by
thyroid hormone. Neonatal hypothyroidism lengthens the period of Sertoli cell proliferation …
