The Relation Between Adult Dark Spermatogonia and Other Parameters of Fertility Potential in Cryptorchid Testes
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The fertility potential of boys with cryptorchidism may be related to the number of adult dark spermatogonia per tubular transverse section in testicular biopsies taken at orchiopexy. Placental-like alkaline phosphatase positive gonocytes in testes within year 1 of life indicate preserved ability for germ cell transformation. We related these parameters to the total number of tubular germ cells and other factors associated with fertility potential.
