Abstract

Unilateral cryptorchidism was induced in Wistar rat pups within 48 h of birth. After a period of 150 days, the blood–testis barrier was evaluated in the cryptorchid and contralateral scrotal testis, using a lanthanum immersion technique. The barrier was demonstrated to be competent, with tracer confined to the basal and intermediate compartments.

## Abstract Previous trials performed in our laboratory have demonstrated that stainless steel corrosion products induced morphological changes in mice seminiferous cells. In this study the functional nature of the blood‐testis barrier was investigated, in view of the extesive use of this metallic
