| description | This study was performed in adult male goats in which seasonal variations were abolished by rapid alternations of long days and short days. These treatments have been shown previously to prevent seasonal changes in the hypothalamo-pituitary axis and to maintain testis weight and sperm production at a high level. The experimental groups were exposed for 3 years to an alternation of either a 1 month short (16 h dark; 8 h light) and 1 month long (16 L; 8 D) photoperiod (2 month cycle; n = 5) or of a 2 month short and 2 month long photoperiod (4 month cycle; n = 4). The control groups were maintained in natural photoperiodic conditions (45 degrees N) and goats were slaughtered in the non-breeding season (end of April RS; n = 5) at the same period as light-treated bucks, or in the breeding season (end of September BS; n = 6). The total weight of the testes, the length and mean diameter of the seminiferous tubules of light-treated goats were similar to those in the breeding season, and higher than those in the non-breeding season. The total number of A0 spermatogonia was increased by light treatments as compared to control goats in the breeding and non-breeding season. The daily production of A1 spermatogonia, leptonene primary spermatocytes and round spermatids in light-treated goats was maintained at the peak breeding season level. The intra-testicular concentration of testosterone, total volumes of intertubular tissue and of Leydig cells, and the number of Leydig cells per testis did not differ between groups. Although the mean cross-sectional area of Leydig cells in light-treated goats was similar to this area in non-breeding season goats, it was significantly lower than that of breeding season goats. In conclusion, the rapid alternation of short and long days allowed an increase in all the germ cells from the A0 spermatogonia onwards, which was responsible for the maintenance of high spermatogenetic activity of light-treated goats. |
