Heat stress decreases testicular germ cell proliferation and increases apoptosis in short term: an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study

Scrotal hyperthermia has been known as a cause of male infertility but the exact mechanism leading to impaired spermatogenesis is unknown. This work was aimed to investigate the role of scrotal hyperthermia on cell proliferation and apoptosis in testes. The rats were randomly allotted into one of th... View More
