Example sentences for: testis
How can you use “testis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates spermatogenesis through the somatic Sertoli cells of the testis [ 1 ] . Sertoli cells act as "nursing" cells and supplies germ cells with energy and controls the biochemical environment in which they develop [ 2 ] . Among the FSH-regulated functions are increased glucose uptake and oxidation.
This also makes it highly unlikely that SPAM1 is present in the epididymis merely because it is transported there from the testis.
Table 1reveals that in human SPAM1 there is a CRE transcription factor binding site, a site that was shown to be functional in the murine Spam1 promoter region [ 34 ] as well as putative AREs which are also present in the mouse [ 12 ] . Of special interest are the relative locations of the AREs which are associated with genes expressed in the epididymis [ 35 ] and the prostate at -661 and -763; and a CRE (cyclic-AMP responsive element) which is consistent with haploid expression in the testis at -207 [ 34 ] . The relative location of these elements are consistent with the findings of Hsia et al.
If they have such an endogenous rhythm, we predicted that F344 rats treated from weaning with a constant short photoperiod or an intermediate photoperiod (L12:D12; INT) would exhibit an initial decrease in testis size, body weight, or food intake, followed by a refractory period with no differences relative to a control group in long photoperiod, and then a second period of sensitivity to shorter photoperiods, again relative to a control group in long photoperiod.
Pairwise comparisons of LD and INT groups identified significant differences in testis size only in the first third of the study and in week 35 (Fig.
