Abstract
Testosterone was reported to affect a variety of reproductive endpoints. More notable were the effects of dihydrotestosterone on cell proliferation in the prostate cancer cell model LNCaP and Sertoli cell function. Testosterone production was also biphasically affected by prolactin that was administered to adult testicular cells in vitro.
