Glossary Spermatogenesis

process of sperm cell production in male testes

Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced and developed in the male testes. This complex process involves the division and maturation of germ cells through several stages, including spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, and finally mature spermatozoa. It typically takes about 64 days in humans and is crucial for male fertility.

research CHRONIC TREATMENT WITH FINASTERIDE DAILY DOES NOT AFFECT SPERMATOGENESIS OR SEMEN PRODUCTION IN YOUNG MEN

104 citations , October 1999 in “The Journal of Urology”

This study concluded that daily treatment with 1 mg finasteride did not affect spermatogenesis or semen production in young men and had small, reversible effects on prostate volume and serum PSA.

Exposure of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles to Finasteride, an Inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase Activity, Impairs Spermatogenesis and Alters Hypophyseal Feedback Mechanisms

research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms

18 citations , June 2009 in “Journal of Molecular Endocrinology”

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.
