摘要: In males, serum testosterone levels decline with advancing age. Though part of a complex process, this age-related in appears to occur, part, due significant the ability aged Leydig cells produce maximally response luteinizing hormone (LH). The structure molecular machinery responsible for synthesis is described, and placed context cell biology. Multiple parameters related by have been observed change Relationships among these changes are reviewed. A discussion potential causes steroidogenic capacity presents model which inability adequately respond hormonal stimulation results cellular regression concomitant maximal output.
