Sertoli cells, which are found in the testes, are stimulated primarily by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells to promote sperm production and development, as well as to maintain the microenvironment necessary for sperm maturation.
