Reproduction is the only certain constant within animals and maintaining the integrity of this process is key to ensuring survival of the species. However, male fertility rates in the Western world are in decline and the use of assisted reproductive...

We have shown previously that deficient androgen action within a masculinization programming window (MPW; e15.5–e18.5 in rats) is important in the origin of male reproductive disorders and in programming male reproductive organ size, but that androge...

Common male reproductive abnormalities including cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and low sperm counts may comprise a testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS), resulting from fetal testis dysfunction during a critical developmental period involving reduced a...

Sertoli Cell Development and Function in an Animal Model of Testicular Dysgenesis Syndrome1 (2007)
Journal Article
Hutchison, G. R., Scott, H. M., Walker, M., McKinnell, C., Ferrara, D., Mahood, I. K., & Sharpe, R. M. (2008). Sertoli Cell Development and Function in an Animal Model of Testicular Dysgenesis Syndrome1. Biology of Reproduction, 78(2), 352-360. https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.107.064006

Pregnancy exposure to di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP) in rats induces a testicular dysgenesislike syndrome (TDS) in male offspring. Earlier studies suggested altered Sertoli cell development/maturation may result, especially in testes that become cryptor...

International Journal of Andrology, 31(2), 103-111. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2605.2007.00816.x

A testicular dysgenesis-like syndrome is induced in rats by fetal exposure todi(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP). A key feature of this is the formation of focal dys-genetic areas comprising malformed seminiferous cords⁄tubules and intratubu-lar Leydig cells...
