- W2017094054 abstract "Testosterone (T) treatment suppresses gonadotropin levels in normal men and is a promising reversible contraceptive that induces azoospermia in approximately 70% of subjects and oligospermia in the remainder; however, the basis of this variable response is unclear. This study aimed to investigate this reported variable response by examining the spermatogenic process and quantitating germ cell number in men after T-induced gonadotropin withdrawal. Ten normal fertile men (31–46 yr), already planning to undergo vasectomy, either received T enanthate (200 mg, im, weekly) for 19–24 weeks (n = 5; TE group) or proceeded directly to surgery (n = 5; controls), at which time a unilateral testicular biopsy was taken, and germ cell numbers were estimated using the optical disector stereological method. In response to TE treatment, serum T levels rose 2-fold, and FSH/LH levels became undetectable. Sperm counts fell to azoospermia in 4 men and to 21 million/mL in the fifth man. The mean number of type A spermatogonia per 100 Sertoli cells was unchanged, but type B spermatogonia fell markedly to 10% of the control values, and later germ cell types decreased to 11–18% of the control values. The pattern of germ cell suppression varied widely and showed no relationship with sperm count or the time to azoospermia. Despite the presence of elongated spermatids (1.4–20% of the control), four men remained azoospermic. Two TE subjects with similar early germ cell complements and elongated spermatid numbers had sperm counts of zero and 21 million/mL; the latter man demonstrated marked variability in germ cell numbers between adjacent tubules. We conclude that 1) the principal spermatogenic lesion in TE-treated men is the marked (90%) inhibition of type A→B spermatogonial maturation. Other sites are also affected, particularly the release and/or survival of elongated spermatids during transit; and 2) a steady state in germ cell number may not be established even after 4–5 months of TE treatment. The findings suggest that TE treatment does not adequately or consistently withdraw hormonal support for spermatogenesis, leading to variable between- and within-individual patterns of germ cell suppression." @default.
