Testicular function in the sand rodent Psammomys obesus is subjected to seasonal alternations with a trigger of spermatogenesis in winter and a total quiescence which extends from late spring to summer. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of b-endorphin in the testis at the period of winter sexual activity and at its summer regression, and assess the effect of 17 β-estradiol treatment on testicular morphology and b-endorphin expression.
