The effects of vasectomy on spermatogenesis in the dog, Canis Familaris: a meiotic analysis. 1975

M K MacDougall, and K McCowin, and F Derrick, and L Glover, and C S Jacobson

It was observed (1) that reversible meiotic changes did in fact take place following vasectomy, as evidenced by the changing profile of the various stages of meiosis, resulting in a spermatogenic arrest accompanied by a drop in the frequency of mature spermatids and depletion of spermiocytes. (2) By 15 weeks postvasectomy, repair had progressed from the earlier meiotic stages, with a return to the normal, control, meiotic distribution. (3) The time from the observation of degenerative changes to the restoration of control values, according to our data, was approximately 100 days.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008540 Meiosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division, occurring during maturation of the GERM CELLS. Two successive cell nucleus divisions following a single chromosome duplication (S PHASE) result in daughter cells with half the number of CHROMOSOMES as the parent cells. M Phase, Meiotic,Meiotic M Phase,M Phases, Meiotic,Meioses,Meiotic M Phases,Phase, Meiotic M,Phases, Meiotic M
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013091 Spermatogenesis The process of germ cell development in the male from the primordial germ cells, through SPERMATOGONIA; SPERMATOCYTES; SPERMATIDS; to the mature haploid SPERMATOZOA. Spermatocytogenesis,Spermiogenesis
D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.

D014659 Vasectomy Surgical removal of the ductus deferens, or a portion of it. It is done in association with prostatectomy, or to induce infertility.
