Description

Human Leydig Cells (HLC) are located in the testes of the male gonads, between seminiferous tubules. They have round vesicular nuclei and a granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and play an important role in maintaining spermatogenesis and controlling hormone regulation. They are responsible for the production of testosterone and are the main source of male androgens. Leydig cells have the large and well-developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum, large and numerous lipid droplets, and numerous mitochondria with tubular cristae. They also contain lipofuscin. The well-developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rich lipid content are the characteristics of of Leydig cells that produce androgens more efficiently. The production process of androgens is regulated by many factors, mainly luteinizing hormone (LH). Leydig cell markers include 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3b-HSD), 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (7-DHCR), Calretinin, Cyp17 and Cyp11a1, etc.

Application

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

Leydig cells can be used in researches on treatment for diseases that lead to low serum testosterone levels. They can also be used to study the mechanisms of testosterone formation. In men, reduced testosterone production can significant impact metabolism and quality of life. With the understanding of the mechanisms of testosterone formation, it is possible to increase serum testosterone by stimulating the Leydig cells themselves using pharmacological approaches.
