Testicular glandulocyte

Testicular glandulocytes are one of the types of cells that are found in the testicles of men. These cells produce hormones that are necessary for the normal functioning of the male reproductive system. Glandulocytes are formed during embryonic development and remain throughout a man’s life.

Glandulocytes are derivatives of Sertoli cells that form the outer layer of the testes. They are oval in shape and contain many mitochondria and other organelles necessary for the production of hormones.

One of the main hormones produced by testicular glandulocytes is called testosterone. This hormone is the main sex hormone in men and is necessary for the development of male reproductive organs, muscle growth and maintaining normal libido levels. In addition, testosterone is involved in the regulation of metabolism, bone structure and other processes in the body.

Testicular glandulocytes also produce other hormones, such as dihydrotestosterone, estrogens and progesterone. These hormones also play an important role in the functioning of the male reproductive system, as well as other processes in the body.

Leydigocytes are part of the seminiferous tubules of the dorsal crest of the male testicle. The leidigocyte is a glandular cell with very developed intracellular organelles. Cells can be located not only side by side, but also aparallel to each other or ordered by zones of location, with displacement of connective tissue septa. The function of leidigocytes is the synthesis of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Between the cells there is a large amount of smooth muscle tissue, which filters the blood flow.
