摘要: Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) influences spermatogenesis, but its impact on seasonally regulated sperm production is still not fully understood. Thus, we investigated both expression levels and localisation of VEGFA receptors VEGFR1 2 in roe buck testis via real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction immunohistochemistry relation to seasonal changes the cellular composition testis. was expressed by interstitial cells while were found perivascular cells. Inside tubules, located spermatogonia spermatocytes, present elongating spermatids VEGFR2 Sertoli mRNA tenfold lower than VEGF mRNAs. Relative (divided number expressing cells) showed an increase towards rut (July/August) a decrease thereafter. The results suggest involvement adjustment vascular permeability as well spermiogenesis proliferation spermatogonia.
