Disease relevance of Seminiferous Tubules

  • However, premeiotic murine gametocytes lacked detectable Gas8 protein, as did seminiferous tubules in biopsy specimens from seven human males having cytological evidence of non-obstructive azoospermia secondary to Sertoli cell-only syndrome [1].
  • Microscopic changes were restricted to the testes and the heart, and were seen only in males dosed with 1080 at 0.25 mg/kg/day and included severe hypospermia in the epididymides, severe degeneration of the seminiferous tubules of the testes, and cardiomyopathy [2].
  • TP was given for 14 days (3 mg/100 g body weight, i.m.) to assess the acute effects of testosterone on the seminiferous tubules [3].
  • Histopathological studies revealed marked degeneration of seminiferous tubules and lumen devoid of sperms, further confirming testicular toxicity of styrene [4].
  • Other changes seen were the hyalinization of gastric submucosal wall, generalized testicular atrophy due to the loss of seminiferous tubules, coagulation necrosis of intestinal mucosal wall, hyperpigmentation, and more advanced and severe chronic progressive glomerulonephropathy in the TFE-treated rats [5].
