## Abstract Connexin proteins are the principle structural components of the gap junctions. Colocalization and tissueβspecific expression of diverse connexin molecules are reported to occur in a variety of organs. Impairment of gap junctional intercellular communication, caused by mutations, gain o

Astrocytes are coupled by gap junctions, which are composed of connexins, channel-forming proteins. Connexin43 is the predominant connexin of astrocytes. Gap junctions assemble astrocytes into functional syncytia permitting exchange of small molecules including metabolites, catabolites, and second m
## Abstract There is strong evidence that thyroid hormones through triiodothyronine (T~3~) regulate Sertoli cell proliferation and differentiation in the neonatal testis. However, the mechanism(s) by which they are able to control Sertoli cell proliferation is unclear. In the present study in vivo
