The seminiferous epithelium in most tubules comprised only a layer of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells. |
This process promotes the maturation of the seminiferous tubules and spermatogenesis. |
Leading from the seminiferous tubules are the tubuli recti or straight tubules lined only with columnar cells apparently derived from Sertoli cells. |
The seminiferous tubules were gently pelleted and subjected to proteinase digestion and DNA extraction. |
The evaluation of cell population was based on the calculation made for each cell type per cross section of the seminiferous tubule. |
Three trained observers reviewed each stallion's histology slides by quantifying the number of spermatids within 25 cross-sectioned round seminiferous tubules. |
