Question

Testosterone is produced by

• A. Leyding cells
• B. Interstitial cells
• C. Seminiferous tubules
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

Testes are located in the scrotum. They secrete male sex hormones called androgens such as testosterone, from the group of interstitial cells or Leydig cells, present in the connective tissue between the sperm producing seminiferous tubules. The Leydig cells are stimulated to secrete testosterone by the luteinising hormone from anterior pituitary gland. Hence option D is the correct answer.
