| 21. | Recently, additional inhibin specific binding proteins were identified in inhibin target tissues, including pituitary and Leydig cells.
|
| 22. | This may be related to the damaged Leydig cells, as a result of the decreasing of inhibin expression.
|
| 23. | Leydig cell hypoplasia does not occur in biological females as they do not have either Leydig cells or testicles.
|
| 24. | Leydig cell hypoplasia does not occur in biological females as they do not have either Leydig cells or testicles.
|
| 25. | In the male reproductive system the NR4A1 gene is a promoter of insulin-like 3 in Leydig cells.
|
| 26. | They are large enough to be seen in an optical microscope and can be visualized using Leydig cell tumours.
|
| 27. | For men it acts in the same way as LH; stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
|
| 28. | They have been shown to secrete 25-hydroxycholesterol, a sterol that can be converted to testosterone by Leydig cells.
|
| 29. | In situ ligand binding studies have shown that 125 I inhibin ?A binds specifically to Leydig cells throughout rat testis development.
|
| 30. | Cells called the Leydig cells lie between the tubules; these produce hormones called androgens; these consist of testosterone and inhibin.
