Question

Which hormone controls spermatogenesis?

Answer 1

Spermatogenesis:

1. Spermatogenesis is the development of haploid spermatozoa ( sperm) from germ cells in the testis' seminiferous tubules.
2. Due to a large rise in the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), spermatogenesis begins at puberty.
3. GnRH induces the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), by acting on the anterior pituitary gland.
4. LH increases androgen ( mainly testosterone) production and secretion by acting on Leydig cells.
5. FSH increases the release of several substances that aid in the spermiogenesis process by acting on the Sertoli cells.
6. Testosterone stimulates spermatogenesis.

Hormones that control spermatogenesis are:

In males, Follicle-stimulating hormone ( FSH) and Testosterone regulate spermatogenesis.
