Herein, using CB1 knock-out male mice, we studied the potential role of these receptors in maintenance of blood-testis barrier (BTB) integrity during the seminiferous epithelium remodelling phase (Stages VIII-XI), focusing on events responsive to CB1 and CB2 activity. Our…

Components of ECS have been previously described in human spermatozoa and in the rodent testis but there is little information on the ECS expression within the human testis. In this study we characterised the m…
