How does Testosterone regulate sperm production? with regard to hormonal changes associated with puberty and development of secondary sex characteristics

derekbradley4000 replied: "testosterone stimulates the release of follicle stimulating hormone from the pituitary, which in turn regulates spermatogenesis."

Helen M replied: "Testosterone is mainly produced in the testes on males, with an increase in testosterone production during puberty being triggered by an increase in release of luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland. Testosterone is a steroid hormone which acts on intracellular androgen receptors (which are found in many tissues) in the cytoplasm, which in turn triggers an increase in transcription of specific genes, which then trigger the physiological actions associated with testosterone. Sperm production is very dependant on testosterone levels; production of testosterone is by the Leydig cells in the testes, which are adjacent to the semeniferous tubules which are the site of spermatogenesis. The precise mechanism of hormonal control of spermatogenesis is not well understood, but the concentration of androgens in the semeniferous tubules is 20-50 times higher than that in the blood and this concentration must be maintained to maintain virility. In addition, the effect of testosterone on other organs is mainly enlargement and stimulation, and this is how testosterone (and metabolites such as dihydrotestosterone) trigger the development at puberty of secondary sex characteristics such as the growth of facial and body hair, thickening of the vocal cords leading to deepening of the voice, and a 'growth spurt'"

woman with high testosterone are infertile, can you take birth control to regulate it and become fertile? ? i have high levels of testosterone and my gyno put me on birth control to regulate that and my period because i was getting it every 5 to 6 months. she said it would take about a year or so for it to be regulated and i would be able to have kids. i just wanted a second opinion and if anyone else has the same issue and was told something different on how to handle it.

Samantha replied: "birth control surpresses your fertile hormones so I dont see how the two are related... You'd probably have to take some hormonal pills when you want to ovulate...something like progesterone or clomid and all that"

meveryfastto replied: "Your doctor made a mistake most likely. A woman cannot produce too much testosterone which would make your infertile...at least its almost irrelevant. Further, its not medically correct to bring down the testosterone level by raising the estrogen level. He should have used more of a testosterone blocker rather than just raise your artificial estrogen level. Too much estrogen is very very bad and birth control (estrogen) can be the cause of breast cancer. In fact, once a women is diagnosed with breast cancer, most women are prescribed femura which is a estrogen inhibitor. Get rid of this doctor and go to a medical doctor who specializes in HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and have the doctor ask for a full hormone panel test. You will definitely have a good doctor change your MO. I think you found yourself a quack doctor who is over his head."

jazzy girl replied: "Do you have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)? This is usually characterized by unusually high androgen levels (i.e. testosterone levels). What makes you infertile, for the time being, is the inhibition of ovulation -- your estrogen/testosterone levels are not balanced. Birth control will sort of regulate your androgen levels -- that is, they will put synthetic estrogen into your bloodstream, making a difference in the estrogen/testosterone ratio. This can reduce some of the side effects that come along with too much testosterone -- if you're experiencing a lot of acne or facial hair, for example, the estrogen in the pill will help with this. BC pills will definitely not make you fertile, though. Fertility relies on a hormonal cycle -- naturally, you ovulate in response to peak estrogen levels dropping. Birth control pills prevent this "peak" and subsequent decline in estrogen, inhibiting ovulation and preventing you from getting pregnant. On birth control pills you will get a "fake period," or a "withdrawal bleed" -- that is, your body hasn't ovulated so it isn't actually releasing an egg, it's just sloughing off the uterine lining in response to the withdrawal of estrogen during the placebo (pill-free) week. Like the poster above said, you will probably be given a fertility drug like Clomid if you want to conceive. Clomid is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which makes the body believe that estrogen levels are lower than they actually are. In this case, thanks to another hormone, your ovary releases an egg. (Remember what I said about ovulating once peak estrogen levels dropped? There you go...)"

Has anyone here heard that a severely mentally disturbed women who takes testosterone injections is pregnant? In what ways and on what issues does it seem to you that society as a whole has blinded itself to reality? Anouther such issue would be the very old and driving. For the sake of the self esteem and feelings of self reliance of the elderly, society doesn't regulate the ability of elderly drivers, but will let them drive until they endanger the lives of themselves or others. What issues do you feel that people collectively blind themselves to or try to change the reality of the situation from force of will?

how is the production of testosterone regulated in males? thanks

fattastic replied: "it is regulated by hormones, men have testosterone women have progesterone, Hormone's play a big role in both sexes, The biggest difference is testosterone is brought easily to violence progesterone brings women easily to tears"

Glenn F replied: "Both sexes have all the same hormones but at different levels. They are controlled by the pituitary glamd. You should read The Testosterone Syndrome by Eugene Shippen. In short, testosterone is a pre-curser for estrogen. Testosterone gos through a process called aromitase, where the bosy takes testosterone and tranforms it into estrogen. For men, when taking anti-estorgens, it increase 'free' / unbound testosterone that is then biologically avaiable for musclular development, sex... all the fun stuff! Incidentally -- menopausal women should try taking natural testosterone booster -- these will help alleviate hot flashes. mood swings... and help put their hormones back into balance. Men should have their testosterone checked by the age of 30 to get a baseline... otherwise, when older, you may be within a 'nomal' range at 400, but normal for you may be 800 or 1000!"
