Sertoli cells are regulated by the pituitary hormone known as-
- LH
- FSH
- GH
- Prolactin
Answer
(2) FSH
Solution
As per NCERT, at puberty GnRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete LH and FSH.
LH acts on the Leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens, whereas FSH acts on the Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors which help in spermiogenesis.
∴ Sertoli cells are regulated by FSH.
