Leydig cells are located in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. It is in the seminiferous tubules the spermatogenesis takes place. The function of the leydig cells is to respond to the Luteinizing hormone,secreted by the pituitary gland.

Ramen11: no what do they secrete
sroushan11: males the interstitial cells of Leydig, located in the connective tissue surrounding the sperm-producing tubules of the testes, are responsible for the production and secretion of testosterone.

Answer:

Leydig's cells are located adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testes. The main function of the leydig cell is to produce the male hormones.

These hormones are androgen, testosterone, under the control of the pituitary luteinizing hormone.

It also helps in the process of spermatogenesis. Without the help of these cells the production of sperm will not take place as they secrete hormone that helps in the production and maturation of the sperms.
