## Abstract Transmission electron microscopical studies performed on the testis of __Tilapia rendalli__ confirmed the presence of Leydig and Sertoli cells. These cells displayed characteristic morphological features and were positively identified in the interstitial tissue and lobules, respectively
The effects of gossypol on glucose metabolism, ATP levels and intracellular sodium levels in murine TM3 Leydig and TM4 Sertoli cell lines were investigated, and their response compared. Relative ATP levels and sodium ion levels in the two cell lines were determined by 31P and "Na NMR spectroscopy. S
## Abstract __Background__: Paracrine effects of germ cells on Sertoli cell structure were examined in a mouse model with the W locus (dominant white spotting) mutation in which animals with the W/W^v^ genotype (referred to as mutants) lack virtually all germ cells. __Results__: Morphometric deter
