Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which hormone produced by the pituitary gland can effect reproductive hormones levels in the testes of men?
A
Prolactin (PRL)
B
Growth Hormone (GH)
C
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
D
Thryoid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -FSH stimulates the production and maturation of sex cells, sperm in males, and ova in females.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prolactin can influence testicular function both directly, and indirectly via altering release of gonadotropins from the pituitary. Although numerous effects of prolactin on male reproductive functions have been described, only a few were demonstrated in more than one species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pituitary gland produces, stores and stimulates other reproductive hormones such as: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG) Prolactin. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Detailed explanation-4: -GnRH then stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary. In men, LH stimulates certain cells in the testes (i.e., Leydig cells) to release testosterone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH stimulates sperm production in people assigned male at birth. FSH stimulates the ovaries to produce estrogen and plays a role in egg development in people assigned female at birth. This is known as a gonadotrophic hormone.
