Question

Increased levels of inhibin would ________.

1) increase Leydig cell activity
2) decrease Theca cell activity
3) increase Sertoli cell activity
4) decrease Sertoli cell activity
5) decrease Leydig cell activity

Answer 1

Increased levels of inhibin would decrease Sertoli cell activity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased levels of inhibin would decrease Sertoli cell activity. Inhibin is released by the Sertoli cells when the sperm count is too high. It inhibits the release of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This slows down spermatogenesis, reducing testosterone secretion.
