| summary | Association between COVID-19 status and Leydig cell functional capacity among men in hospitalized cohorts.. The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK in 2020 led to significant morbidity, hospitalization, and death, particularly amongst elderly men. Recent meta-analyses confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 infection led to reduced testosterone and increased LH, suggestive of testicular Leydig cell involvement. |
