Therefore, the Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;\/sup&gt; content of CM associated with an undescended testis was determined and compared with the Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;\/sup&gt; content associated with inguinal hernia and hydrocele and in internal oblique muscles. CM samples from boys with undescended testis (n = 9), inguinal hernia (n = 15), and hydrocele (n = 7) and from girls with inguinal hernia (n = 8) were obtained. The calcium contents of these samples and of samples from internal oblique muscle (n = 6) were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. While the Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+ &lt;\/sup&gt;contents of CM from boys with undescended testis and from girls with inguinal hernia were similar (p &gt; 0.05), the internal oblique muscle and the CM from boys with inguinal hernia and hydrocele contained more Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+ &lt;\/sup&gt;than CM from boys with undescended testis (p &lt; 0.05). Despite evidence of an increase in cytosolic calcium, the decrease in total calcium content suggests a decrease in the adenylyl cyclase activity, thus inhibition of influx of Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;\/sup&gt;, but an increase in phospholipase C activity, and generation of more inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and mobilization of calcium from internal stores. Since the sympathetic system acts through adenylyl cyclase in striated muscles and is sexually dimorphic, similar Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;\/sup&gt; contents as encountered in girls suggest an alteration in the balance of autonomic innervation against the sympathetic system in boys with undescended testis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000065558","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,15]],"date-time":"2003-04-15T21:05:17Z","timestamp":1050440717000},"page":"111-115","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Less Calcium in Cremaster Muscles of Boys with Undescended Testis Supports a Deficiency in Sympathetic Innervation"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"F.
