Identification of testis-specific male contraceptive targets: insights from transcriptional profiling of the cycle of the rat seminiferous epithelium and purified testicular cells.

abstract：:The extreme toxicity of organophosphorous-based compounds has been known since the late 1930s. Starting in the mid-1940s, many nations throughout the world have been producing large quantities of organophosphorous (OP) nerve agents. Huge stockpiles of nerve agents have since developed. There are reportedly more than 2...
