Detailed explanation-1: -GnRH stimulates FSH release. The hypothalamus produces GnRH, and it is released into the hypophyseal portal circulation to act on G-protein-coupled receptors at gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein gonadotropin secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) released by the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland also secretes luteinizing hormone (LH), another gonadotropin. FSH and LH are composed of alpha and beta subunits.
Detailed explanation-3: -LH stimulates the production of T, adjudged to be the cornerstone of effective spermatogenesis, secondary sexual characteristics and functions, as well as psychological and anabolic actions [4, 5, 13]. FSH, on the other hand, enhances T action by maintaining the supporting function of Sertoli cells on spermatogenesis.
