    Glossary Leydig cells

    produce testosterone in the testes

    Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of Leydig, are specialized cells located in the testes. They are primarily responsible for producing testosterone, the hormone that plays a crucial role in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of male reproductive functions.
