Hormonal Regulation of the Male Reproductive System

Hormonal Regulation of the Male Reproductive System

At the onset of puberty in males, the hypothalamus begins secreting high pulses of GnRH or gonadotropin-releasing hormone. In response, the pituitary gland releases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) into the male system. Take a look at the illustration which describes the hormonal regulation of the male reproductive system. Also, with the help of the table understand the role of different hormones which play a crucial role in the male reproductive system.
