Stage I (a) shows type A spermatogonia (A), leptotene spermatocytes (L), pachytene primary spermatocytes (P), round spermatids (R), and
Sertoli cells (S).
Several cell types were essential for spermatogenesis in the testis: germ cells,
Sertoli cells, peritubular myoid cells, and ALCs [30].
Caption: Figure 4: A section of the tumor shows the solid component of the tumor composed of
Sertoli cells. Small tubular formation is noted in the solid component.
On the other hand, the number of
Sertoli cells and germ cells was lower in the TB and TC groups, when compared to control and TA groups (Table 3).
The seminiferous epithelium contains spermatogenic and sustentocytes (
Sertoli cells), responsible for spermatogenesis (Junqueira & Carneiro, 2005; Jenkins et al., 2007; Netter, 2011).

Sertoli cell number, plasma and testicular interstitial fluid androgen binding protein concentration," Endocrine Research, vol.
There is a positive relationship between testicular weight and the number of
Sertoli cells, which have FSH receptors.
The main role of mature
Sertoli cells is to provide support and nutrition to the developing sperm cells.
