During late prenatal and early postnatal life, the reproductive system in males undergoes an extensive series of physiological and morphological changes. Prenatal ethanol exposure has marked effects on the development of the reproductive system, with long-term effects on function in adulthood. The present study tested the hypothesis that prenatal ethanol exposure will delay the onset of spermatogenesis. Development of the seminiferous tubules and the onset of spermatogenesis were examined utilizing a rat model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Male offspring from ad libitum-fed control (C), pair-fed (PF) and ethanol-fed (prenatal alcohol exposure, PAE) dams were terminated on postnatal (PN) days 5, 15, 18, 20, 25, 35, 45 and 55, to investigate morphological changes through morphometric analysis of the testes from early neonatal life through young adulthood. PAE males had lower relative (adjusted for body weight) testis weights compared to PF and/or C males from PN15 through puberty (PN45). In addition, fewer gonocytes (primordial germ cells) were located on the basal lamina on PN5, while more of those touching the basal lamina were dividing in PAE compared to PF and C males, suggesting delayed cell division and migration processes. As well, the percentage of tubules with open lumena was lower in PAE compared to PF and C males on PN18 and PN20, and PAE males had fewer primary spermatocyte per tubule on PN18 and round spermatids per tubule on PN25 compared to C males. Finally, the percentage of tubules at stages VII and VIII, when mature spermatids move to the apex of the epithelium and are released, was lower in PAE compared to PF and/or C males in young adulthood (PN55). Maternal ethanol consumption appears to delay both reproductive development and the onset of spermatogenesis in male offspring, with effects persisting at least until young adulthood.
