[An electron microscopic study of prespermatogenesis in rats]. 1990

P Tsvetkova

The author carried out a study on the ultrastructure of germinal and Sertoli's column in sexual immature tests of 21 rats of Wistar strain, examined dynamically into the following age groups: newborns on the fifth and tenth days after delivery. After analysing the obtained results the following conclusion could be made: The lack of specific cellular sign of gonocyte to differential A-spermatogonia was a serious obstacle in the study of prepubertal development of male gametogenesis. Examining the differentiation of cellular populations in sexual immature testes of rats, the dynamic of proliferation and ultrastructural changes in the germinative Sertoli's cells, which transformed gradually into their specific structure of sexual mature tests, was impressive. Although the rather difficult determination of factors, coordinating interrelationships between these cells, should be taken into consideration, it is clear that the development of germinal cells could be described always in close connection with the surrounding Sertoli's cells, which play probably a basic role in initiation of their proliferation and entry in miosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

D000375 Aging The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time. Senescence,Aging, Biological,Biological Aging
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.

D012708 Sertoli Cells Supporting cells projecting inward from the basement membrane of SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES. They surround and nourish the developing male germ cells and secrete the ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN and hormones such as ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE. The tight junctions of Sertoli cells with the SPERMATOGONIA and SPERMATOCYTES provide a BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Sertoli Cell,Cell, Sertoli,Cells, Sertoli
D013085 Spermatic Cord Either of a pair of tubular structures formed by DUCTUS DEFERENS; ARTERIES; VEINS; LYMPHATIC VESSELS; and nerves. The spermatic cord extends from the deep inguinal ring through the INGUINAL CANAL to the TESTIS in the SCROTUM. Funiculus Spermaticus,Cord, Spermatic,Cords, Spermatic,Spermatic Cords
