Continuous low dose gamma irradiation induces a progressive degeneration of germ cells with a concomittant increase in blood FSH; however, the Sertoli cell function is not too much altered since serum ABP level is normal and it is likely that the decrease of epididymal ABP content is the consequence of a reduction in seminiferous tubule fluid excretion. Obviously, spermatids seems to be involved in the regulation of Sertoli cell ABP synthesis.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.

D000727 Androgen-Binding Protein Carrier proteins produced in the Sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the seminiferous tubules, and transported via the efferent ducts to the epididymis. They participate in the transport of androgens. Androgen-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as SEX HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications. Androgen Binding Protein,Binding Protein, Androgen,Protein, Androgen Binding,Protein, Androgen-Binding
