Please change to
A Leydig cell is a cell capable of secreting testosterone in the interstitial area, between the seminiferous tubules, in the testis.


Zebrafish Ledig cells secrete 11-Keto-Testosterone https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Zebrafish_in_Toxicology/Testis_location "Leydig cells are the source of androgens. In teleosts, they produce 11-ketotestosterone under complex regulation. Androgen production in teleosts is stimulated by the pituitary derived gonadotropin, and gonadotropin production is partly under feedback control of plasma androgen levels" cites PMID: 7981031
11-Keto-testosterone https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=CHEBI:34133
Right now testosterone secretion in GO references https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/chebiOntology.do?chebiId=CHEBI:17347

We might need some changes in GO too and maybe Changes in the CHEBI hierarchy to make 11-Keto-testosterone a steroid hormone .
