For Men, the Hormone That Initiates Sperm Production Is

Question

For men, the hormone that initiates sperm production is:
A)testosterone
B)FSH
C)LH
D)inhibin

Accepted Answer

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) initiates sperm production in men by stimulating the cells in the testes that produce sperm. While testosterone aids in sperm production, it is not the hormone that initiates it. LH (luteinizing hormone) stimulates the testes to produce testosterone. Inhibin is a hormone that regulates FSH production.
