1 The results demonstrated that TME secretes leptin, which induces LSC differentiation and increases testosterone production. Testosterone leptin Homo sapiens
2 Leptin"s effects on LSC differentiation and testosterone production, however, are inversely concentration-dependent: positive at low doses and negative at higher doses. Testosterone leptin Homo sapiens
3 Taken together, these findings identify leptin as a key paracrine factor released by cells within the TME that modulates LSC differentiation and testosterone release from mature Leydig cells, a finding with important clinical implications for TD. Testosterone leptin Homo sapiens
