Prepubertal spermatogenic cells in immature rats show pronounced dependency on thyroid hormone. In thyroidectomized immature male rats widespread regression of these cells were observed. These changes could be prevented by administration of small doses of thyroxine. In unthyroidectomized immature rats, thyroxine in the same dosage, caused an increased degree of growth and development of testicular tissues as compared to control.
未成熟大鼠青春期前的生精细胞对甲状腺激素表现出明显的依赖性。在甲状腺切除的未成熟雄性大鼠中，观察到这些细胞广泛退化。给予小剂量甲状腺素可预防这些变化。在未进行甲状腺切除的未成熟大鼠中，与对照组相比，相同剂量的甲状腺素使睾丸组织的生长和发育程度增加。
