DAPL1 is a novel regulator of testosterone production in Leydig cells of mouse testis

Abstract Leydig cells in the testes produce testosterone in the presence of gonadotropins. Therefore, male testosterone levels must oscillate within a healthy spectrum, given that elevated testosterone levels augment the risk of cardiovascular disorders. We observed that the expression of death-asso...
