Estrogen plays an essential role in male reproduction. In human and other mammalians, a number of tissues express aromatase and hence synthesize estrogen. ERs and aromatase are present at all developmental stages of the male reproductive organs in many mammalian species. Estrogen is important in different aspects in male reproductive physiology, including its effects on germ cells, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and epididymal functions.
雌激素在男性生殖中起着至关重要的作用。在人类和其他哺乳动物中，许多组织表达芳香化酶，因此能够合成雌激素。在许多哺乳动物物种中，雌激素受体（ERs）和芳香化酶存在于雄性生殖器官的所有发育阶段。雌激素在男性生殖生理学的不同方面都很重要，包括其对生殖细胞、支持细胞、间质细胞和附睾功能的影响。
