    Male reproduction is regulated by hormones secreted in the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes axis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones then act on the testes to regulate testosterone production and spermatogenesis. Testosterone provides feedback inhibition of hormone secretion in the axis and development of male sex characteristics.

    REPRODUCTION
    Physiology of Male Reproduction
    Regulation of Reproductive Hormone secretion in Males:
    1. Gn-RH from hypothalamus stimulates the secretion of
    LH and FSH from anterior pituitary
    2. LH stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes to secrete
    testosterone, and FSH binds to the sertoli cells of the
    seminiferous tubules and stimulates spermatogenesis
    3. Testosterone has a stimulatory effect on the sex organs
    and secondary sex characteristics, as well as on the sertoli
    cells
    4. Testosterone has a negative feed back effect on the
    hypothalamus and pituitary gland to reduce LH and FSH
    secretion
    5. Inhibin has a negative feedback effects on FSH secretion.
