Question

Hormone secreted by Sertoli cells of testes in human beings:

• A. Testosterone
• B. Inhibin
• C. Progesterone
• D. Interstitial cell stimulating hormone

Hint:

Inhibin regulates the production of sperm by inhibiting FSH release, and testosterone is involved in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Sertoli cells in the testes secrete inhibin, which helps regulate spermatogenesis and inhibits the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland.
- Testosterone is secreted by Leydig cells, not Sertoli cells.
- Progesterone is a hormone primarily associated with females, not secreted by Sertoli cells.
- Interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) stimulates the production of testosterone in males but is not secreted by Sertoli cells.
