Testosterone its self is the hormone, but Anabolic steroids promote secretion of testosterone.
Testosterone
The hormones are; Follicle stimulating hormone and the lutienizing hormone. The other important hormone is testosterone.
There are 2 hormones that regulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH):activin = stimulates (or "activates") the secretion of FSHinhibin = inhibits the secretion of FSH
Testosterone in males and estrogens in females
The main androgen is Testosterone with increasing levels that begins Puberty and the Secondary Sexual Characteristics in males. Testosterone is produced in the testes. It encourages growth and maturation. Also important to mention is the Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which enhances spermatogenesis. And, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which similarly to testosterone, is a male reproductive hormone that helps the external genitalia to grow and become fertile.
balls
Inhibin
decreased testosterone secretion
luteinizing hormone (LH)
The interstitial cell-stimulating hormone stimulates ovulation in the female and production of the female sex hormone progesterone. In the male, it stimulates the secretion of testosterone.
The Predominant hormone in males are testosterone
inhibin and estrogen in females, inhibin and testosterone in males
Testosterone does not produce a hormone it IS a hormone.
LuteinizingHormone is a hormone that promotes secretion of sex hormones.In females: It triggers ovulation.In males: It triggers leydigcells that produce testosterone.
The pituitary gland controls the secretion of growth hormone.
The testes are two oval shaped male reproductive glands that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.
The major hormones in the male reproductive system are:1. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is mainly made in the hypothalamus from where it travels to the pituitary gland where it stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropins which are follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland. It is necessary for the maturation of spermatozoa.3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland. In the testes, LHstimulates the synthesis and secretion of testosterone. It also stimulates the testes to produce the hormone androgen.4. Testosterone is made in the interstitial cells. It stimulates the sex drive.5. Inhibin is made by the Sertoli cells when they are low in nutrients in order to feed developing sperm cells. It acts as a negative feedback, going to the brain to slow the release of FSH and GnRH.
