To highlight the importance of this issue, the present study investigated the long-term impacts of different doses of a single systemic tamoxifen injection on the testis and the wider endocrine system. We found that a single dose of tamoxifen less than 10% of the mean dose used for recombination induction, caused adverse effects to the testis and to the reproductive endocrine system that persisted long-term. These data raise significant concerns about the widespread use of tamoxifen induction of recombination, and highlight the importance of including appropriate controls in all pathophysiological studies using this means of induction.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:20:19 AEST ]]> Leukemia inhibitory factor-receptor is dispensable for prenatal testis development but is required in sertoli cells for normal spermatogenesis in mice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34486 Thu 27 Jan 2022 15:56:27 AEDT ]]>
