Adult male mice were treated with oestradiol for 10 weeks and for the last half of this period they were given relatively large daily doses of testosterone and highly purified human pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), singly and in combination.
Oestradiol treatment reduced and testosterone restored the yields of mature (step 16) spermatids from round (step 7) spermatids, round spermatids from pachytene primary spermatocytes and pachytene from preleptotene spermatocytes. At the dose level used FSH was not effective alone but appeared to augment the effect of testosterone on the yield of round spermatids from preleptotene spermatocytes.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
