As was stated in the introduction, many of the functions of the Sertoli cells are apparently carried out by the protein secretions of these cells. The use of Sertoli cell cultures and appropriate biochemical and immunological techniques has allowed the characterization of some of these secretion ...

The use of Sertoli cell cultures and appropriate biochemical and immunological techniques has allowed the characterization of some of these secretion prod...
What are the functions of the Sertoli cells? What are the basic functions of neural tissue? What secretes bile? What is the function of white blood cells in the immune system? How does the epithelium lining the mucosa change along the alimentary canal? What is the function of c...
Effect of neonatal treatment of rats with potent or weak (environmental) oestrogens, or with a GnRH antagonist, on Leydig cell development and function thr... This study addressed whether reduced Sertoli cell number or manipulation of the neonatal hormone environment has an influence on final Leydig...
It is commonly accepted that FSH is essential for the initiation of spermatogenesis in the sexually maturing rat (1) and that Sertoli cells (Sc) are the primary site of FSH action in the testis (2, 3). The testicular development during puberty is accompanied by dramatic changes in Sc ...
The characteristics of TM4 cells (Sertoli cell line) after pre-incubation of MSC-CM in vitro were also obtained. The MSC-CM group had the most spermatogenic colonies among the three groups (p<.05), but no spermatids were seen. Expressions of the meiosis-associated genes Dazl, Vasa, Miwi,...
A new superfusion, two-compartment culture system recently developed in our laboratory was used to investigate the dynamic changes in bidirectional secretion of transferrin (Trf) and androgen binding protein (ABP) by rat Sertoli cells (Sc) cultured for up to 12 d under various experimental conditio...
peritubular cellsP-Mod-SsteroidogenesisSummaryTesticular peritubular cells have been shown to produce a paracrine factor, termed P-Mod-S, under androgen control that has dramatic effects on Sertoli cell function and may provide an important mode of androgen action in the testis. Therefore, the ...
