This document discusses luteinizing hormone (LH) in men and contains responses to questions about LH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). It states that LH and FSH levels in men can be stimulated by estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. If a man's testosterone levels drop, it is likely due to a decrease in LH production by the pituitary gland, as the pituitary gland controls testosterone production and release through LH. Various supplements and hormones may help increase LH and FSH levels, but their effects in men require more research.

Understanding Luteinizing hormone

Lisa asks…
What chemicals can stimulate FSH and/or LH?
Are there any medications or possible supplements that can stimulate the production or
increase the production of either the Follicle Stimulating Hormone or Luteinizing Hormone in
men??
I ask because of fertility issues and I would like to have a starting point for some research…
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
From 12th grade human bio, i remember that FSH and LH are stimulated by the hormones
Oestrogen, Testosterone and Progesterone. Perhaps some HRT may help. Although i’m not
sure about that in males.
Best of luck

2. Ruth asks…
If the testosterone levels in a man drop, the cause of the problem
is probably a hormone produced in the?
A. pituitary gland. B. luteinizing gland.
C. testes. D. hypothalamus.
this is the information that my book is givin me….
the testes produce sex steroid hormones–mainly, testosterone production and release,
however, are controlled by a hormone from the pituitary gland. this hormone is known as
luteinizing hormone (LH). In males. LH is also known as intersitial cell stimulating hormone
(ICSH). it gets this name because it stimulates the testosterone-producing cells (interstitial
cells).
ICSH secretion is controlled by a releasing hormone produced by the hypothalamus. That
hormone is known as gonadotropin releasin hormone (GnRH). The secretion of GnRH is
controlled by testosterone levels in the blood in a classic negative feedback loop.
WHEN TESTOSTERONE LEVELS IN THE BLOOD DECLINE, receptors in the hypothalamus
detect the change and signal an increase in GnRH secretion.
I’ve been reading this over and over but i dont get it!!!! Ijust dont getit!

This is all you need. Testosterone levels dropping implies the system controlling it has gone

3. wrong. What controls the levels of testosterone? LH hormone. However the question wants to
know where this hormone is produced, and the text tells us it is the pituitary gland. That is your
answer.
Sharon asks…
Did you know this about men?
A man’s sprem is good for a woman.
In addition to its central role in reproduction, various scientific findings indicate that semen has
certain beneficial effects on human health, both proven benefits and possible benefits:
Antidepressant: One study suggested that vaginal absorption of semen could act as an
antidepressant in women; the study compared two groups of women, one of which used
condoms and the other did not.[4]
Cancer prevention: Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer,
particularly breast cancer,[5] reducing risk by “not less than 50 percent.”[6][7] This effect is
attributed to its glycoprotein and selenium content, with apoptosis being induced by TGF-Beta.
A related urban legend parodied these findings and claimed that performing fellatio at least
three times a week reduced the risk of breast cancer.[8]
Semen has been proven to act as a strong antidepressant in women so that women physically
exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. It is thought that the psychological
effects of semen are a result of its complex chemical make-up including several mood-altering
hormones (testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone,
prolactin and several different prostaglandins). In a scientific survey of 293 college women it
was also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek
out new partners as soon as a relationship ended, suggesting that the chemical dependency to

4. semen creates a “rebound effect”. The effect of semen on a male sexual partner (a receiver of
semen) is not known.[14][15][16]
Preeclampsia prevention: It has been hypothesized that substances in semen condition a
mother’s immune system to accept the “foreign” proteins found in sperm as well as the resulting
fetus and placenta, keeping blood pressure low and thereby reducing the risk of preeclampsia.
Regular exposure to the baby’s father’s semen, especially orally, may help make a woman’s
pregnancy safer and more successful, because she is absorbing her partner’s antigens.[9]

If the testosterone levels in a man drop, the cause of the problem
is probably a hormone produced in the?
A. pituitary gland B. luteinizing gland C.hypothalmus thnx<33
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Testosterone production declines naturally with age. Low testosterone, or testosterone
deficiency (TD), may result from disease or damage to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, or
testicles that inhibits hormone secretion and testosterone production, and is also known as
hypogonadism.
