Figure 3. Perinatal change in Sertoli cell number.

Figure 3

The number of Sertoli cells is in relation to testis differentiation, birth and androgen action in the masculinization programming window (MPW), as reflected by anogenital distance (AGD) in the human. In adulthood AGD is positively related to testis size, sperm count and fertility. Further details are given in the text.
