Information on postnatal Leydig cell (LC) differentiation in the Mongolian gerbil has been unavailable. Therefore, current investigation was designed to examine LC lineage differentiation in this rodent, from birth to ...

We report a 76-year-old woman with a virilization syndrome characterized by progressive androgenic alopecia, clitoris enlargement and hirsutism predominating in the face. Plasma testosterone was 711 ng/dl. Magnetic resonance ...

3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is one of the key enzymes involved in the steroidogenic pathway of Leydig cells. In this study, quantitative cytochemistry was used to detect the 3β-HSD staining intensity in ...

The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on intact Leydig cell phospholipid methylation was studied. Hormonal stimulation of rat Leydig cells increased the incorporation of[methyl-3H]methionine into phospholipids ...

Spermatogenesis is disrupted in Graomys griseoflavus × Graomys centralis male hybrids. This study was aimed to determine whether morphological alterations in Leydig cells from hybrids accompany the arrest of spermatogenesis ...

Lobulated capillary hemangioma with Leydig cell hyperplasia in the same nodule is exceptional. We report a case of a 72 year old male presenting with mammary asymmetry. Thirty seven years previously he had had a left sided ...

The freshwater fish Serrasalmus spilopleura (piranha) has a continuous type of reproduction; gametes are constantly produced and released during the reproductive cycle. The testes do not undergo seasonal morphological ...
