interstitial (Leydig) cells
Cells of Leydig
The interstitial, or Leydig cells, of the testicles produce testosterone, the male sex hormone.
The cells that contribute to pus are both dead tissue cells from where the infection is at as well as dead inflammatory cells, usually neutrophils. Microscopically, these cells appear destroyed, often with disrupted cellular architecture and hypereosinophilic cytoplasm. The basophilic nucleus is often faded or absent as well.
Leydig
In the testes, or testicles, there are a group of cells called the interstitial cells of Leydig. Their main purpose is to produce the hormone testosterone,
Interstitial cells of Leydig in the testes secrete testosterone.
testoserone
The function of Leydig cells, which are located in the testicle, is to produce testosterone. They can only function when luteinizing hormone is present.

Cells of Leydig
Leydig cells produce testosterone in the testes. They are also called interstitial cells.
Plant cells are distinguished by their cell walls and very large vacuoles.
