Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of each hormone listed in the options. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is known for its role in stimulating the production of testosterone in the testes.

Recall the function of Luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and acts on the Leydig cells in the testes to stimulate the production of testosterone.

Consider the role of Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH primarily stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, not testosterone.

Evaluate the function of Prolactin. Prolactin is mainly involved in milk production and has no direct role in testosterone production.

Review the function of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is involved in the regulation of the reproductive processes, such as the maturation of sperm cells, but does not directly stimulate testosterone production.
