The interstitial cells, also known as Leydig cells, located in the testes are responsible for the production of testosterone, which is an important male sex hormone involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and maintenance of male reproductive function. The other options are not produced by the interstitial cells of the testes; LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) are produced by the pituitary gland, progesterone is predominantly produced by the corpus luteum in females, and inhibin is produced by the Sertoli cells of the testes.
