Description
Written by experts in their respective fields, this book reviews the expanding knowledge concerning the mechanisms regulating male reproduction
at the molecular and cellular levels. It covers the development of the testes and regulatory controls for spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis,
and it considers aspects of Sertoli cell function. Areas of emphasis include communication between the various cell types involved in
reproduction by hormone and growth factors and the mechanisms by which these factors regulate gene expression. A number of mammalian
systems, including humans, are covered. The carefully selected authors provide a clear synopsis of the concepts in each area as well
as the latest references, enabling the reader to investigate the topic further. This book is of interest to those seeking an understanding
of the regulatory mechanisms in male reproduction and is written for the graduate and postgraduate levels.
