  • Title: Developmental changes of seminiferous tubule in prenatal, postnatal and adult testis of bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata).
    Author: Prakash S, Prithiviraj E, Suresh S.
    Journal: Anat Histol Embryol; 2008 Feb; 37(1):19-23. PubMed ID: 18197895.
    Abstract:
    This paper is a part of our study on the male reproductive system of bonnet monkey. The developmental changes in testis of bonnet monkey were studied qualitatively and quantitatively, at the light microscopy level. Testicular development appears to primarily involve tubular growth that starts immediately after birth. There is a gradual increase in the number of tubules in the prenatal to neonatal stage in testis, without an increase in the volume. Increase in the number of tubules in the neonatal testis was achieved by an increase in the length of the tubules and reduction in the interstitial proportion. Scattered spermatogonial cells in the tubules of neonatal testis indicate the rapid growth rate of the tubules. Increase in tubular length along with diameter seems to be a continuous process until puberty. This is the first report on the developmental changes in the testis during fetal, postnatal and adult stages in the bonnet monkey.
