This study investigates the expression and activity of aromatase and estrogen receptors (ERs) in the gonads of adult male rats. It focuses on their roles in Leydig and Sertoli cell functions, specifically analyzing testosterone and estradiol synthesis. Through assessing mRNA levels and protein expression, the relationship between aromatase activity and ER signaling in seminiferous tubules is explored. Understanding these interactions may provide insights into hormonal regulation within the male reproductive system and its implications for fertility. ###
