Question

function of leydigs cells​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Leydig cells are interstitial cells located adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testes. The best-established function of Leydig cells is to produce the androgen, testosterone, under the pulsatile control of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) (9).

Answer 2

The function of the leydig cells is to respond to the Luteinizing hormone, secreted by the pituitary gland. The LH binds to the cell surface receptors on the Leydig cells, activating the synthesis and secretion of androgens; testosterone, androstenidione and dihydroepiandrosterone.
