随着避孕药物研究的需要,对于精子发生的机理和精子在雄性与雌性生殖道中的成熟过程虽已做了大量的工作,但从生理学观点出发,对其基本生化过程还缺乏了解。本文重点讨论哺乳动物精子成熟过程中的生化因素,特别是有关甾体激素的重要作用。 With the need of research on contraceptives, a great deal of work has been done on the mechanism of spermatogenesis and on the maturation of spermatozoa in the male and female reproductive tract. However, from the perspective of physiology, there is still a lack of understanding of the basic biochemical processes. This article focuses on biochemical factors in mammalian spermatogenesis, particularly the important role of steroid hormones.
