 The
Leydig Cell
edited by Anita Payne,
Matthew Hardy and Lonnie Russell
This volume presents an up-to-date compilation of information
on the development, structure and function of the cell that
produces testosterone. The Leydig Cell is invaluable for serious
researchers and students of male reproductive physiology.
Topics covered range from the identification of the cell by
Franz Leydig in 1850 to current efforts targeting the Leydig
cell as a means of achieving male contraception.
The Leydig Cell features:
- 33 chapters written
by recognized experts
- Hundreds of tables,
figures and illustrations
- History of early
research on the Leydig cell
- Over 800 pages -
8.5" x 11" - on glossy paper
- Hardback with color
cover
- Color section
- Foreword by David
M. de Kretser
- Bibliography of 4,000
references
- Published in 1996
