Localization of Testicular Plasminogen Activator in Discrete Portions (Stages VII and VIII) of the Seminiferous Tubule

Abstract

We have previously reported that rat Sertoli cells in culture produce and secrete plasminogen activator, a highly specific protease, and that FSH stimulates these processes. compartment and as spermiation occurs at stages VII and VIII in the seminiferous epithelium of the tubule.
