Which hormone suppresses spermatogenesis without affecting testosterone secretion?

Inhibin is a hormone produced by the testes that suppresses spermatogenesis by inhibiting the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. It specifically targets FSH to regulate sperm production without affecting testosterone secretion.


What will alcohol do to the density of urine?

Alcohol actually affects the brain which in turn, affects urine production. ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and excreted by the pituitary gland. This hormone makes the kidney absorb the water in the bloodstream. When a person drinks alcohol, the excretion of ADH hormone is decreased. Therefore, the kidney does not absorb the water as it should. Then more urine is made. When more urine is made, it is less dense. Because the ADH hormone is decreased, people can produce too much urine and get dehydrated from drinking too much alcohol.


What is the best insulator of heat nitrogen or alcohol?

Nitrogen is a better insulator of heat compared to alcohol. This is because nitrogen is a gas and has lower thermal conductivity than alcohol, which is a liquid. Nitrogen can create a barrier that inhibits heat transfer more effectively than alcohol.


Which hormones exerts its effect primarily on the reproductive organs?

The hormone primarily affecting the reproductive organs is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH regulates the secretion of other hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn control the functions of the gonads (ovaries and testes) and their production of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.


What type of chemical is ADH?

You think probable to alcohol dehydrogenase, an important enzyme

What is the effect of alcohol to antidiuretic hormone secretion?

Alcohol inhibits the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland, leading to increased urine production and dehydration. This can contribute to the diuretic effect of alcohol and can lead to increased frequency of urination and potentially disrupt the body's water balance.


What inhibits the antidiuretic hormone?

The secretion of antidiuretic hormone is inhibited by both alcohol and caffeine. I'm trying to learn at what level (pituitary, where the actual secretion occurs) or the hypothalamus where ADH (vasopressin) is produced.


What hormones control the secretion of FSH?

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion is primarily regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. GnRH stimulates the release of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland. Additionally, negative feedback from sex steroids such as estrogen and testosterone can also influence FSH secretion.


Why does alcohol cause belly fat?

Alcohol affects metabolic activity and prevent the hormone secretion in liver.


What hormones inhibits secretion of follicle stimulating hormone by the anterior pituitary?

inhibin and estrogen in females, inhibin and testosterone in males


What does somastotatin do?

Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.


Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?

Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).


Which is not a function of the hypothalamus?

The hypothalamus stimulates or inhibits secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland. One of these is GH or Growth Hormone.


What effect does ANH have on renin?

it inhibits its secretion


What inhibits secretion of LH and FSH?

Progesterone


What controls the secretion of growth hormone?

The pituitary gland controls the secretion of growth hormone.
