* '''dihydrotestosterone''' - (DHT) steroidal hormone made locally by 5-alpha reductase conversion of testosterone into a more active form in genital effects. | |||
* '''follicle stimulating hormone''' - (FSH) {{pituitary}} glycoprotein hormone secreted by gonadotrophs (basophilic cell subgroup) acts on gametogenesis and other systems in both males and females. Females, acts on the {{ovary}} to stimulate follicle development. Negative feedback by inhibin from the developing follicle decreases FSH secretion. Males, acts on the {{testis}} Sertoli cells to increase androgen-binding protein (ABP) that binds androgens and has a role in spermatogenesis. | * '''follicle stimulating hormone''' - (FSH) {{pituitary}} glycoprotein hormone secreted by gonadotrophs (basophilic cell subgroup) acts on gametogenesis and other systems in both males and females.

* '''testosterone''' - {{testis}} {{ovary}} steroidal hormone. In males is the androgen which regulates genital (gonadal and tract), secondary sex characteristics and neural development. The steroid is converted to the active metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase for the genital effects and estradiol by the enzyme aromatase for the neural effects. | |||
