Describe how testosterone concentrations are regulated by negative feedback mechanisms. What will be an ideal response?


Concepts to Consider: GnRH is released from the hypothalamus and stimulates the pituitary to
secrete FSH and LH. These, in turn, stimulate testosterone secretion. The presence of testosterone then
inhibits secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus. It also affects the pituitary gland by blocking the
actions of GnRH on FSH and LH synthesis and release.
