Abstract

Characterization of insulin and type I insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) receptors and the effects of insulin and IGF-I on steroidogenesis were evaluated by using purified adult Leydig cells from Sprague-Dawley rats. Purified Leydig cells were found to contain both high and low affinity binding sit...
