Uncovering the Physiological Mechanisms Underlying the Roe Deer (<em>Capreolus capreolus</em>) Testicular Cycle: Analyses of Gelatinases and VEGF Patterns and Correlation with Testes Weight and Testosterone

Uncovering the Physiological Mechanisms Underlying the Roe Deer (<em>Capreolus capreolus</em>) Testicular Cycle: Analyses of Gelatinases and VEGF Patterns and Correlation with Testes Weight and Testosterone

The roe deer (<i>Capreolus capreolus</i>) represents a spontaneous model of testicular inactivation: During winter, bucks show a suspension of spermatogenesis that starts again in spring and peaks during the breeding season (July–August). The underlying mechanisms to the regulation of th...
