Abstract:Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a major Sertoli cell mitogen that binds to the FSH-R receptor. Sertoli cells are indispensable for testis development and spermatogenesis. However, the regulatory mechanisms of FSH in immature Sertoli cell proliferation has not been determined, particularly in domestic animals. In the present study, we identified the regulatory mechanisms of FSH during immature porcine Sertoli cell proliferation. A transcriptome analysis revealed 114 differentially expressed genes that wer… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
