The study of testicular steroidogenic tissue in the freshwater fish Mystus (M) vittatus has been made by employing histochemical techniques to localize lipids. The Leydig's cells are steroidogenic. Their functional significance has been correlated with secondary sexual characters (SSC). The SSC have been found to follow a clear cut testicular cycle. The development of SSC is reflected by the abundance, numerical variations, size difference, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the interstitial Leydig's cells. Functional identity of Sertoli cells in the development of SSC seems doubtful.
通过运用组织化学技术定位脂质，对淡水鱼细纹鳠（Mystus (M) vittatus）的睾丸类固醇生成组织进行了研究。莱迪希细胞具有类固醇生成功能。它们的功能意义与第二性征（SSC）相关。已发现第二性征遵循明确的睾丸周期。间质莱迪希细胞的数量、大小差异、肥大和增生反映了第二性征的发育情况。支持细胞在第二性征发育中的功能特性似乎值得怀疑。
