Testicular descent is controlled by 2 morphological and hormonal steps. Transabdominal testicular descent is mediated by gubernacular swelling and regression of the cranial suspensory ligament. Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) has been proposed to stimulate the swelling but this remains controversial. Recently, a mouse mutant for Leydig insulin-like hormone (Insl3) was found to have undescended testis and deficient gubernaculum. We examine the testicular position of Insl3 mutant mice and the development of gubernacula.
