Triiodothyronine Decreases the Activity of the Proximal Promoter (PII) of the Aromatase Gene in the Mouse Sertoli Cell Line, TM4
25 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Estrogens and thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating functions and development of the testis. The synthesis of estrogens from androgens is catalyzed by the enzyme complex termed aromatase, which in the testis displays an age-related cellular compartmentalization, primarily in Sertoli cells in immature animals, whereas in adults it is expressed in Leydig and germ cells. T3 induces a precocious...
