This study was performed to investigate histological structure, expressions of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ),androgen receptor (AR) and proliferation marker (Ki-67 protein) in scrotal and abdominal testicular tissues ofunilateral cryptorchidism prepubertal boars. Testicular tissues were obtained from 8 unilateral cryptorchidism boars.Immunohistochemical staining for ERβ, AR and Ki-67 protein was performed by avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex(ABC) method. The similar histological structure of both scrotal and abdominal testicular tissues was observed.Immunolocalization of Ki-67 was found in the nuclei of germ cells, interstitial cells and Sertoli cells of both scrotal andabdominal testicular tissues. For ERβ and AR, the immunolocalization was found in germ cells and interstitial …
