Effect of bilateral denervation of the immature rat testis on testicular gonadotropin receptors and in vitro

We have studied the effect of superior spermatic nerve (SSN) section on testicular gonadotropin receptors and in vitro androgen production by immature rat testis. Bilateral testicular denervation had no effect on testicular weight, serum androgens, LH, FSH and PRL levels. Denervation resulted in a s...
