The HPG axis interacts with the Sertoli and Leydig cells to ensure the proper functioning of the male reproductive system. Environmental insults, which are becoming increasingly more common, affect the sensitive male reproductive system in harmful ways. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to, analyze a network of the paternally imprinted infertility genes shared between the HPG axis and the Sertoli and Leydig cells. With this network in place, we aimed to develop a cell culture system that would allow the evaluation of the effects of certain environmental contaminants such as mycotoxins on ...
