Testosterone Levels Influence Mouse Fetal Leydig Cell Progenitors Through Notch Signaling1
6 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Leydig cells are the steroidogenic lineage of the mammalian testis that produces testosterone, a key hormone required throughout male fetal and adult life for virilization and spermatogenesis. Both fetal and adult Leydig cells arise from a progenitor population in the testis interstitium but are thought to be lineage-independent of one another. Genetic evidence indicates that Notch signaling is required during...
