Extract

Infertility has been reported to be a significant consequence of cryptorchidism. Testicular cancer has been increasing since the beginning of the century (2). It has been reported in men with unilateral cryptorchidism who develop cancer that 75% of the cases are in the undescended testis. In earlier reports, investigators found that almost half of the cryptorchid testis that developed testicular cancer were abdominal (3). The extent of the degenerative changes are more extensive in the abdominal testis than the inguinal testis (1). Heat shock proteins have been detected in normal as well as in heat treated testes (4, 7). It has been stated that unchecked heat shock protein leads to irreversible damage and ultimately cell death (6). Heat shock protein is used in this study as a marker. The long range objective of this study is to determine the sequence of the ultrastructural degenerative damages of the testis over specific periods in rats as a model and relate these changes to a comparable human age.
