Intratesticular signals regulate germ cell progression and production of qualitatively mature spermatozoa in vertebrates

Spermatogenesis, a highly conserved process in vertebrates, is mainly under the hypothalamic-pituitary control, being regulated by the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, FSH and LH, in response to stimulation exerted by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) from hypothalamic neurons. <br/>A...
