Abstract
Aging in rats is associated with reduced synthesis of steroid hormones. In the present study, response to gonadotropin and Bt2cAMP in vitro was significantly reduced in Leydig cells isolated from old versus young rats. StAR protein levels were similarly decreased in interstitial cells prepared from the testes of old rats.Entities:
