[HTML][HTML] Number, distribution pattern, and identification of macrophages in the testes of infertile men
MB Frungieri, RS Calandra, L Lustig, V Meineke… - Fertility and sterility, 2002 - Elsevier
Objective: To investigate the number, location, and secretory products of macrophages in
human testes showing normal and abnormal spermatogenesis. Design: Evaluation of
testicular biopsies with the use of immunohistochemistry, laser capture microdissection, and
reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Setting: University research and clinical
institutes. Patient (s): Infertile men with germ cell arrest (n= 10), Sertoli cell only (n= 8), or
mixed atrophy (n= 7) syndromes, and with cases of idiopathic infertility showing normal …
