Insulin-Like Peptide 3 (INSL3) Serum Concentration During Human Male Fetal Life

Insulin-Like Peptide 3 (INSL3) Serum Concentration During Human Male Fetal Life

Context: Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3), a protein hormone produced by Leydig cells, may play a crucial role in testicular descent as male INSL3 knockout mice have bilateral cryptorchidism. Previous studies have measured human fetal INSL3 levels in amniotic fluid only.Objective: To measure INSL3 ser...
