Fetal Leydig Cell Origin and Development

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Male sexual differentiation is a complex process requiring the hormone-producing function of somatic cells in the gonad, including Sertoli cells and fetal Leydig cells (FLCs). FLCs are essential for virilization of the male embryo, but despite their crucial function, relatively little is known about their origins or development. Adult Leydig cells (ALCs), which arise at puberty, have been studied extensively and...
