Which one of the following hormones stimulates the production of testosterone in males?
A
Prolactin
B
Oxytocin
C
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
D
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each hormone listed in the options: Prolactin, Oxytocin, Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing hormone (LH).
Prolactin is primarily involved in milk production and has no direct role in testosterone production.
Oxytocin is known for its role in childbirth and lactation, and it does not stimulate testosterone production.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in the regulation of reproductive processes, but it primarily stimulates the production of sperm in males, not testosterone.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, making it the correct answer.
