Testosterone QUESTION 10 A pituitary tumor interferes with FSH secretion. How would this affect a male? He would not produce sperm. QUESTION 11 Luteinizing hormone (LH) binds to interstitial (Leydig) cells and decreases testosterone production by the interstitial cells. It promotes sperm cell production by the interstitial cells. It inhibits sustentacular cells. It stimulates GnRH levels to increase in the testes. It increases testosterone production by the interstitial cells.
GNRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH). LH stimulates interstitial cells to produce testosterone. Inhibin inhibits FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) secretion, which causes a decrease in sperm production and testosterone production. In females, LH release is regulated by progesterone. Estrogen causes the maturation of the egg and the development and maintenance of the female reproductive structures.
