Introduction Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is a peptide hormone secreted by Leydig cells in the testis and by theca cells in the ovary. INSL3 exerts its effect through the G-protein-coupled relaxin family peptide receptor 2 (RXFP2) ( Huang et al

synthase participates in the SOX9 nuclear translocation necessary for the process of Sertoli cell differentiation ( Rossitto et al . 2015 ). PG receptors have been described in Leydig cells (i.e., EP1, DP, FP, TP, and PPARγ receptors; Walch et al . 2003

. The Leydig cells of the testis distributed between the seminiferous tubules are the main field of sex hormone synthesis in males and more than 95% of testosterone is synthesized and secreted by this cell ( Tremblay 2015 ). Testosterone is the body

Introduction Leydig cells (LCs), located in the interstitial tissue of the testis, as the main site of androgen (mainly testosterone (T)) synthesis and secretion, play pivotal roles in regulating secondary male-specific sexual maturation and
