1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
The generation of cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom) and estrogen receptor (ER) knockout mice has raised new interest in the physiological role of estrogens in male reproduction. Testicular expression of P450arom, the enzyme that converts androgens into estrogens, has been shown in both somatic and germ cell types in several species, whereas in humans, testicular expression is confined to the somatic cells.
