The interstitial tissue of the testis has been studied in some 14 mammalian species and compared with respect to the abundance of Leydig cells and loose connective tissue, the degree of development and location of the interstitial lymphatics and their topographical relationship to the endocrine cells and to the seminiferous tubules.
