Given that they secrete the steroid hormone testosterone, yes they are considered endocrine.
The endocrine system releases hormones directly into the bloodstream from glands, such as the pituitary or thyroid gland, after they have been secreted into the interstitial fluid. These hormones travel through the bloodstream to target cells in different parts of the body, where they regulate various physiological processes.
These are the interstitial cells.
Interstitial compartments refer to the spaces or areas between cells in tissues where interstitial fluid circulates. This fluid contains nutrients, hormones, and waste products that are exchanged between cells and blood vessels. Interstitial compartments play a crucial role in maintaining the overall homeostasis of the body.
Interstitial fluid is the liquid surrounding the cells of multicellular animals, containing: sugars, fatty acids, amino acids, salts, coenzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters. It fills the interstitial spaces (i.e., tissue spaces) and allows cells to receive and expel substances.
No, interstitial fluid is not part of a cell. It is the fluid found in the spaces between cells in tissues. It provides a medium for the exchange of nutrients, wastes, and other substances between blood vessels and cells.

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
Endocrine cells can be found in glands of the endocrine system.
Endocrine glands secrete hormones and neuropeptides into interstitial fluid and the blood stream.
Testosterone
No. Endocrine cells are ductless and must release their substances to the blood vessels.
Yes, the endocrine system can affect cells. By secreting hormones into the bloodstream, the endocrine system sends chemical messengers to cells that alter their function.
endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and these hormones reach cells and impact these cells.
These are the interstitial cells.
The interstitial cells of Leydig in the testicles produce testosterone.
