title: Neuroendocrine physiology of the normal male gonadal axis.
abstract: The normal male reproductive axis requires coordinate control of hypothalamo-pituitary testicular components. Such coordinate control is accomplished by specific feedback regulation. Here, we have reviewed the physiology of neuroendocrine feedback controls operating within the healthy male reproductive axis.
