Cell interactions and genetic regulation that contribute to testicular Leydig cell development and differentiation

15 Apr 2016

Abstract excerpt

Leydig cells, located within the interstitial compartment of the testis, are major contributors of androgen synthesis and secretion, which play an important role in testis development, normal masculinization, maintenance of spermatogenesis, and general male fertility. Accordingly, dysfunction of Leydig cells may lead to various male reproductive maladies, including primary hypogonadism, cryptorchidism, and...
