Function: Impacts testosterone levels and can inhibit reproductive function during stress. Regulation: Released from the adrenal cortex, controlled by ACTH.

Function: May modulate testosterone levels and sexual satisfaction. Regulation: Controlled by the hypothalamus via dopamine and can be influenced by stress.

Function: Similar to LH, it stimulates testosterone production. Regulation: Not normally present in males; can be exogenously administered.

Function: More potent than testosterone, it affects prostate growth and male pattern baldness. Regulation: Formed from testosterone by 5-alpha reductase enzyme.

Function: Promotes spermatogenesis and secondary sexual characteristics. Regulation: Controlled by LH and released by Leydig cells.

Function: Stimulates testosterone production. Regulation: Regulated by GnRH and negative feedback from testosterone.

Function: Precursor of testosterone and estrogen. Regulation: Produced in testicular Leydig cells and adrenal glands, regulated by LH and ACTH.

Function: Inhibits FSH production. Regulation: Produced by Sertoli cells and regulated by the rate of spermatogenesis.

Function: Stimulates spermatogenesis. Regulation: Controlled by GnRH and inhibited by inhibin from Sertoli cells.

Function: Modulates libido, bone density, and Sertoli cell function. Regulation: Synthesized from testosterone and regulated by aromatase activity.

Function: Regulates the release of LH and FSH. Regulation: Pulsatile secretion by the hypothalamus.
