Effects of a Simulated Microgravity Model on cell structure and function in mouse testis

Decreased testicular blood flow shift occurring under microgravity conditions causes impaired spermatogenesis in males. The tail suspended model has been used mainly in studies of muscle atrophy/osteoporosis and of body fluid shift in few studies aimed at spermatogenesis. We examined serum testoster...
