Abstract
The presence of sperm in testicular tissue of rhesus macaques that died as a result of infection with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was related to age and body weight. Depressed testosterone levels were not associated with elevated LH levels. The data suggest that azoospermia in the SIV-infected macaques was due to cachexia and not a direct effect of virus on the testis, supporting a similar hypothesis regarding azoospermia in men infected with human immunodeficiency virus.Entities:
