• Leydig's organ (named after the German histologist Franz Leydig who first described it in 1857) is a unique structure found only in some, but not all, elasmobranchs (sharks and rays).
• In situ ligand binding studies have shown that 125I inhibin βA binds specifically to Leydig cells throughout rat testis development.
• These are Leydig cells. Soon after they differentiate, Leydig cells begin to produce androgens.
• Vinclozolin induces an increase in leydig cell tumors in rats.
• They are also produced in the Leydig's organ, which is only found in certain cartilaginous fishes.

• High alcohol usage lowers testosterone levels by direct damage to the Leydig cells (which produce testosterone) and by affecting hormones involved in signaling to the Leydig cells to produce testosterone.
• "D. canis" was first described by Franz Leydig in 1859.
• Insulin-Like Peptide 3 (INSL3) is produced by the interstitial Leydig cells located in the adult testes.
• These cells are called Leydig cells and they are found in the testes.
• EDS can eliminate all adult Leydig cells in testis of adult male rats, after which Leydig cells will regenerate from stem cells.

• Oxytocin produced by leydig cells has been shown to be a driving factor in the contractions by acting on peritubular myoid cells.
• In the male reproductive system the NR4A1 gene is a promoter of insulin-like 3 in Leydig cells.
• mRNA transcripts are highly expressed in testes leydig cells as well.
• Franz von Leydig, also Franz Leydig ([...]; 21 May 1821 – 13 April 1908), was a German zoologist and comparative anatomist.
