Hormone that stimulates spermatogenesis in males and follicular development in ovaries in female is |
| Answer» Spermatogenesis is a concerted sequence of events during maturation of spermatogonia into spermatozoa. The process involves differential gene-expression and cell-cell interplay regulated by the key endocrine stimuli, i.e.,\xa0follicle-stimulating hormone\xa0(FSH) and\xa0luteinizing hormone\xa0(LH)-stimulated\xa0testosterone. In women, this hormone stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation. It also increases\xa0oestradiol\xa0production. In men, follicle-stimulating hormone acts on the\xa0Sertoli cells\xa0of the testes to stimulate sperm production (spermatogenesis). | |
