Alteration of testicular microvascular pressures during venous pressure elevation

A study was conducted to determine whether varicocele-related infertility is caused by pressure-induced disturbances of testicular convective transport that upsetstesticular hormone environment in hamsters. Results suggest that microvascular fluid exchange may be altered in varicocele, upsetting the...

Zusammenfassung:A study was conducted to determine whether varicocele-related infertility is caused by pressure-induced disturbances of testicular convective transport that upsetstesticular hormone environment in hamsters. Results suggest that microvascular fluid exchange may be altered in varicocele, upsetting the hormonal environment of the testis, and thereby having a negative effect on fertility.
