| Abstract: | The incomplete starvation of rats during the first month of life resulted in the inhibition of development of the spermatogenic epithelium cells in 80% of seminiferous tubules, preserved the increased permeability of hematotesticular barrier with respect to rivanol and the ability of rats to react by the increase of testis volume in response to unilateral castration. The data obtained confirm our hypothesis according to which there is a definite correlation between the degree of spermatogenesis completion, the function of hematotesticular barrier and the ability of animals for compensatory hypertrophy of testis. |
