Summary:
Nearly ten years after they published the first book devoted entirely
to the Leydig cell, Matthew Hardy and Anita Payne have collaborated
again to provide a comprehensive study of this fascinating and
important cell type. The Leydig Cell in Health and Disease presents
all of the developments in our understanding of Leydig cell biology
and explores a wide variety of current and potential clinical
applications. All aspects of Leydig cell biology, development,
regulation, and physiology are explored in thirty-one expertly
written chapters. The Leydig Cell in Health and Disease explores
topics of great interest to the private sector, including the
possible application of steroidogenesis discoveries to androgen
synthesis or suppressing Leydig cell function as a key mechnanism in
the development of a male contraceptive. This in-depth volume is an
invaluable resource for information on the science and application of
Leydig cell biology and function.
