This work aimed to analyze quantitative changes of peritubular cells in testes of aged men.
Testicular tissues were obtained from 42 aged men with advanced prostate cancer and 16
young men with biopsy, quantitatively investigated with stereological techniques with
quadrate mask grid, measured the parameters volume density (VV), numerical density on
area (NA), and numerical density (NV) with grid test points. No significant differences were
found in cell ratio, peritubular cell number per tubule, diameter of seminiferous tubules …
