Seasonal changes in the Leydig, Sertoli and stem cells (undifferentiated A0 and cyclic A1) spermatogonia and the daily spermatid production were analysed in the testes of adult Soay rams exposed to short days (8L:16D) or long days (16L:8D) for 12 weeks. The total numbers of Leydig, Sertoli and stem cells (A0 + A1) were not affected by the treatments, but the size of the Leydig and the Sertoli cells, the efficiency of spermatogenesis (i.e. the number of male gametes produced by an A1 spermatogonium) and the daily sperm production were all significantly reduced in the rams exposed to long days. There was a positive correlation between the concentration of FSH and testosterone and many of the cytological changes consistent with a causal role for these hormones in mediating the effects of photoperiod on the testicular function in the ram.
