Although many factors have been implicated in the paracrine control of spermatogenesis, functional proof is only available for a few regulators. Among those are androgens, growth factors and stem cell factor. Cell- and organ-specific gene-targeting will provide important insights into the relevance of local factors controlling male gameto-genesis. As testicular communication frequently occurs between rather remote cells and compartments, it is proposed that the term 'local' rather than 'paracrine' mediators/factors should be used, since the latter term refers to communication amongst neighbouring cells (and mainly via diffusion).
