The effects of the obesogen tributyltin on the metabolism of Sertoli cells cultured ex vivo
Human exposure to environmental contaminants is widespread. Some of these contaminants have the ability to interfere with adipogenesis, being thus considered as obesogens. Recently, obesogens have been singled...

Control of Sertoli cell metabolism by sex steroid hormones is mediated through modulation in glycolysis-related transporters and enzymes
Sertoli cells (SCs) glucose metabolism is crucial for spermatogenesis since develo** germ cells consume lactate produced by SCs as their main energy source. Recently, androgens and estrogens have been implic...
