Which of the following statements are false?
I Testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens.
II Women also produce testosterone, but at lower levels than men.
III Testosterone is a steroid.
IV The brain's hypothalamus and pituitary glands control testosterone production.

Q. Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by all vertebrate animals and, in humans and other mammals, it is secreted in large amounts by the testes of males and to a much lesser extent, the ovaries of females. In adult males, testosterone plays a key role in the development of reproductive organs and it promotes the secondary sexual characteristics of body and facial hair, increased muscle and bone mass, and a deep voice. Testosterone, like all hormones, works via long distance signaling and is regulated by other hormones as illustrated below:

Figure 1:

Testosterone regulation by cooperation between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicular endocrine glands. The major regulatory hormones involved are luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

When testosterone levels are low, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released by the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. FSH and LH then stimulate the testis to produce testosterone.
How is homeostasis achieved when testosterone levels begin to rise?

__ cells in the testes produce the male hormone testosterone.

Androgens in males perform various functions. Given below is a list of functions. Choose the function which is NOT stimulated by androgens.

Q. Read the following statements and select the incorrect option.
I. ADAM (Androgen deficiency in Ageing Males) is also called male menopause, normally occurs in men above the age of 50.
II. Testosterone is principal androgen which brings about the growth of the secondary sex organs and secondary sexual characters.
III. Semen has a pH of 7.35 to 7.50 so it is slightly alkaline.
IV. In male LH is called Interstitial cells stimulating harmone (ICSH), as it stimulate sertoli cells of the testes to secrete androgens.
