Differentiation of the adult Leydig cell population in the rat from stem Leydig cells postnatally. (SLCs) in EDS treated rats. The diagrams depict SLCs, PLCs, ILCs, and ALCs. The cells are depicted as they would appear in situ after EDS treatment on weeks 1, 2–3, 3–6, and after 6. The characteristics of each cell type are listed and described in text (Modified from Benton et al., 1995 and Chen et al., 2009).
