The follicle stimulating hormone-inhibin feedback loop in male primates.
This paper reviews our current knowledge of the role of testicular inhibin in the regulation of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion in the rhesus monkey. Species differences between monkey and rat are described, and evidence for and against the hypothesis that control of FSH secretion in the human male is similar to that for the monkey is presented.
