Extract

It has been reported that cryptorchidism caused disruption of spermatogenesis that become extensive with time (1). The process of spermatogenesis undergoes spontaneous degeneration in rats, the spermatids degenerate, the primary spermatocytes have been reported to degenerate more commonly (2). Apoptosis has been considered the route for removing sensitive germ cells after short-term experimental cryptorchidism (3). The abdominal heat stress causes cell loss by apoptotic pathway (4). The cellular damage of the experimentally induced cryptorchid adult rat is regulated by local testicular factors in pachytene spermatocyte (5). In this preliminary diagnostic study, we examined the role of the effect of the body temperature on the seminiferous tubule cells in surgically induced unilateral cryptorchid testis at various time periods in rats. This study is to document the extent of the cellular damage at various specified time periods of abdominal retention of the testis.
