A) decrease the production of testosterone.
B) keep testosterone levels high inside the seminiferous tubule.
C) stimulate the testes to descend.
D) stimulate spermiogenesis.
E) provide negative feedback regulation of FSH and GnRH secretion.

Inhibin is produced in the Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules and provides negative feedback regulation of FSH secretion from the anterior pituitary gland and GnRH secretion from the hypothalamus. This is important for maintaining proper balance and regulation of testosterone production and spermatogenesis.
