Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LH (luteinizing hormone) stimulates the Leydig cells of the testes to produce and secrete testosterone. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) also plays a role in testosterone synthesis, but LH has a more direct and immediate effect on it. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal gland to produce cortisol, not testosterone. GH (growth hormone) has no direct effect on testosterone secretion.
