Morphological and Hormonal Changes Following Vasectomy in Rats, Suggesting a Functional Role for Leydig-Cell Associated Macrophages

Summary The effects of bilateral vasectomy on hormone serum levels as well as Leydig cell and associated macrophage structure were analysed in parallel in rats 36 weeks following the operation. Serum testosterone was decreased in vasectomized rats (1.96 ± 0.11 ng/ml) compared with control animals (3...
