Resumen:
Cell proliferation is an important process involved in the physiology of the testis. However, the ontogeny of germ cell proliferation in the developing testis has not been investigated in detail. The aim of the present study was to analyze the testicular morphometry and to establish the expression pattern by immunohistochemestry/ immunofluorescence of the proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and germ cell markers (OCT-4 and VASA) in testis from early-, mid- and late-gestation embryos of Lagostomus maximus. The testicular morphometry revealed that seminiferous cords significantly increased in late-gestation testis (p
