Abstract
Acute effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on testicular germ cell apoptosis and vascular neutrophil adhesion were investigated in rats. Acute administration of TNF-alpha did not show a significant increase in p ercentage of apoptotic tubules and apoptotic germ cells. TNF-alpha administ ration did not enhance neutrophil adhesion score in the intertubular and su btunical vein. TNF-alpha does not acutely influence testicular germ cell ap optosis and vascular neutrophil adhesion in rats.
