Morphofunctional, viability and antioxidant system alterations on rat primary testicular cells exposed to simulated microgravity

This study focused on effects induced by short-term simulated microgravity (SMG) condition on primary cell culture from pre-pubertal Wistar rats testis. Cells were analyzed for cytoskeletal and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG/ABP) changes by immunofluorescence technique, for antioxidant system e...
