The present study describes atypical Leydig cell (LC) hyperplasia in 20-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats with low testosterone and high luteinizing hormone levels after prenatal administration of 100 mg/kg/day di(n-butyl) phthalate on days 12 to 21 postconception. Light microscopy revealed LC hyperplasia surrounded by severely degenerated seminiferous tubules. Aggregated LCs had large ovoid nuclei with nucleoli and abundant eosino-philic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical analysis showed expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and vimentin in many hyperplastic LCs. Electron microscopy revealed atypical nuclei, abundant free ribosomes, stripped rough endoplasmic reticulum, intermediate-size filaments, elon-gated cytoplasmic filopodia, atypi...
