Impact of insulin producing cells derived from adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells on testicular dysfunction of diabetic rats
The present study is to clarify the effect of insulin-producing cells (IPCs) derived from adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) on diabetic-induced impairments as the abnormalities of testicular tissues, oxidative stress of testes, and defects of spermatogenesis. Diabetes was stimulated by...
