Histomorphometric Aspects of Testicular Morphogenesis in the Naturally Unilateral Cryptorchid Pig

Abstract

The abdominal and scrotal testes of naturally unilateral cryptorchid pigs, ranging in age from 12½ weeks postcoitum up to sexual maturity were investigated by histomorphometry in an attempt to determine the time of onset and subsequent development of testicular aberrations, characteristic of the cryptorchid condition.
