A comparative morphofunctional DESCRIPTION of TESTES Leidig cells in mammals (photooptic, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical aspects)
The morphofunctional characteristics of testes Leidig cells in 15 mammals species belonging to the classes of incectivores, rodents, leporids, predators and artiodactylous animals are decribed using general, histological, histochemical, electronomicroscopic, immunocytochemical and morphometric methods. General principles and species peculiarities of the structural organization and secretory activity of interstitial endocrinocytes of testes have been determined.
