Hormones, such as Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), play essential roles in male sexual development. In both rodents and humans, the expression of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in various tissues has been shown to be regulated by these hormones. Preliminary results also indicate potential TLR expression in the...
