| Abstract: | Carnosine significantly increased the number of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells in mice prone (SAMP1) and resistant (SAMR1)
to accelerated aging and appreciably reduced cell yield in meiosis and spermiogenesis in SAMP1 mice. In experimental SAMP1
mice catastrophic changes in the number of gametes were paralleled by intensive degradation of the spermatogenic epithelium.
In SAMR1 mice treated with carnosine highly ordered spermatogenic structure was preserved.
