Vasectomy in rhesus monkeys. III. Light microscopic studies of testicular morphology. 1978

P M Heidger, and J A Roberts, and E S Chapman, and G J Domingue, and R M Harrison, and J U Schlegel

Rhesus monkeys were randomly assigned to undergo various surgical procedures. The animals were followed from one to sixty-six weeks postvasectomy, at which time they were sacrificed and their tissues prepared for light and electron microscopy. Vasectomy in the rhesus monkey, as in certain other species, appears to be a procedure not attended with widespread testicular atrophy or histologic evidence of impaired spermatogenic potential utilizing the procedures and postoperative periods studied. Why certain animals exhibited focal degenerative changes is unclear; perhaps a certain population, yet to be defined, is more sensitive to such procedures, resulting in testicular alterations. It is important that such a population and such changes be defined to predict more accurately the possibility of successful vasovasostomy and reestablishment of fertility.

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.

D000882 Haplorhini A suborder of PRIMATES consisting of six families: CEBIDAE (some New World monkeys), ATELIDAE (some New World monkeys), CERCOPITHECIDAE (Old World monkeys), HYLOBATIDAE (gibbons and siamangs), CALLITRICHINAE (marmosets and tamarins), and HOMINIDAE (humans and great apes). Anthropoidea,Monkeys,Anthropoids,Monkey
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).

D012671 Seminiferous Tubules The convoluted tubules in the TESTIS where sperm are produced (SPERMATOGENESIS) and conveyed to the RETE TESTIS. Spermatogenic tubules are composed of developing germ cells and the supporting SERTOLI CELLS. Seminiferous Tubule,Tubule, Seminiferous,Tubules, Seminiferous
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.
