Abstract
Histological studies were carried out on Sertoli cells in cryptorchid patients after long-term hCG [human chorionic gonadotropin] treatment. Morphological studies revealed the absence of differentiation of mature Sertoli cells. This behavior with the persistence of fibroblast cells in the interstitium after long-term hCG treatment suggests that the morphological action of hCG on the Sertoli cells is closely correlated with the maturation of the Leydig cells, particularly with their androgen production.
