Testes from 47 stallions, 1-20 yr of age, were used to examine the influence of age on Sertoli and germ cell populations as well as on functional activity of Sertoli cells. For these stallions, the number of Sertoli cells per paired testes declined linearly with age, and was only 41.7% as great at age 20 as at age 2. However, development of reproductive organs proceeded until age 12-13, as evident from increases in paired testes weight and quantitative rates of spermatozoal production. Although the absolute number of Sertoli cells declined during this period of development, individual Sertoli cells displayed a remarkable capacity to accommodate greater numbers of developing germ cells. Between age 2 and age 12, the mean numbers of developing spermatogonia, young primary spermatocytes, old primary spermatocytes, and round spermatids supported by each Sertoli cell at Stage I of spermatogenesis increased by 49, 176, 153, and 161%, respectively.
