Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major regulator of female reproductive physiology

1 Sept 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a member of the relaxin family of neohormones which has evolved to address specifically mammalian aspects of reproduction related to viviparity and internal fertilization. It was originally identified as a major product of testicular Leydig cells and has proved to be an important biomarker of Leydig cell functional capacity. However, INSL3 is also produced by theca...
