Abstract
- Testis microvessels possess numerous indicators of barrier attributes of brain microvessels such as gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, P-glycoprotein and the glucose transporter. Stable milieu for spermatogenesis involves the complementary action of the endothelial and epithelial parts of the blood-testis barrier, which are 'in series.'
