To stimulate testosterone production, the hypothalamus releases a substance to the pituitary gland called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone, in turn, causes the gland to produce two other hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), collectively known as gonadotropins. LH is released into the bloodstream where it travels to the male testes and triggers the production of testosterone from cholesterol. If this process continues until the testosterone level becomes too high, the pituitary slows the release of LH so production slows down. FSH is similarly involved in the increase and decrease in sperm production.

What causes the release of tetosterone?

Testosterone release is primarily stimulated by the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is produced by the pituitary gland in response to signals from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), prompting the pituitary to secrete LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH specifically triggers the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Factors such as physical activity, stress, and overall health can also influence testosterone levels.
