Previous studies in rats have shown that the ability of Leydig cells (LCs) to produce testosterone significantly declines with age. To address the possible mechanisms by which aging LCs lose their steroidogenic function, we determined the effect of aging on the expression of 11beta-hydroxysteroid de...
