Apoptosome activation, an important molecular instigator in 6-mercaptopurine induced Leydig cell death. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Leydig cells are crucial to the production of testosterone in males. It is unknown if the cancer chemotherapeutic drug, 6-mercaptopurine (6 MP), produces Leydig cell failure among adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Moreover, it is
