Steroidogenesis in Leydig Cells: Effects of Aging and Environmental Factors

Serum testosterone (T) levels decrease with aging in both humans and rodents. Using the rat as a model system, it was found that age-related reductions in serum T were not due to loss of Leydig cells, but rather to the reduced ability of the Leydig cells to produce T in response to luteinizing hormo...
