Morphometric studies on rat testes in the course of postnatal development
Folia Morphol 1999;58(3):223-231.
Abstract
Computer-assisted analysis of histologic images of rat testis in the course of postnatal period demonstrated its stepwise development. Three stages of the development could be distinguished, associated with different number of Leydig cells and with distinct secretive activity of the cell, as reflected by serum testosterone levels.
