[Characterization of the convoluted seminiferous tubule wall. I. Ultrastructural aspects after the ligation of the vas deferens and the efferent tubules].
The structure of the wall of the rat seminiferous tubules has been studied by electron microscopy. No significant modifications have been revealed after the ligature of the vas deferens while on the contrary the ligature of the efferent ductules produces a reduction of the contractile filaments and of the pinocytosis vesicles, as well as an increase of the amount of collagen fibers in the basal membrane.
