|Sertoli Cells

|Oxytocin is mainly produced by the [[Endocrine System - Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|Hypothalamus]] and secreted by the [[Endocrine System - Pituitary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|Pituitary Gland]], however in some species including primates and ruminants it is produced by the Corpus Luteum.

|GnRH from the [[Endocrine System - Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|Hypothalamus]] causes FSH secretion from the [[Endocrine System - Pituitary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|Pituitary Gland]] which stimulates the Sertoli Cells.

|In addition to allowing Milk let-down and promoting uterine contractions, oxytocin works along with oestrogen to induce endometrial production of PGF-2a resulting in regression of the Corpus Luteum.

|Converted from testosterone, this hormone's function is complex. It may prevent apoptosis of male germ cells.
