Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased circulating concentrations of testosterone would stimulate a negative feedback loop, decreasing the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). As LH stimulates the production of testosterone in the testes, increased levels of testosterone would signal to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to decrease the release of LH, maintaining a balance in the endocrine system. Decreased secretion of growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone are not directly related to testosterone levels.
