Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
The anterior pituitary gland is controlled via portal system of veins from the Hypothalamus. Directly the Hypothalamus secretes GnRH (gonadtropin releasing hormone) to the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of the gonadtropins FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (lutenizing hormone). Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is synthesized by cells stimulated by LH & FSH
