Abstract

Following the downregulation of testicular endocrine and germinative function by slow-release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-agonist implants, testicular functions are quickly restored after implant removal. As an intact blood-testis barrier (BTB) is crucial for normal spermatogenesis and its integrity is FSH- and androgen-dependent, alterations in the BTB gene and protein expressions during downregulation and subsequent restart seem inevitable. We investigated occludin (OCLN), claudin (C...
