| Hormone | Regulation | Action | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prostaglandin F2a | - | Causes luteolysis. | |
| Progesterone | Sertoli Cells | GnRH from the Hypothalamus causes FSH secretion from the Pituitary Gland which stimulates the Sertoli Cells. | Prevents secretion of further FSH from the Pituitary Gland. |
| Oestrogen | Sertoli Cells | GnRH from the Hypothalamus causes FSH secretion from the Pituitary Gland which stimulates the Sertoli Cells. | Converted from testosterone, this hormone's function is complex. It may prevent apoptosis of male germ cells. |
| Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG) | Sertoli Cells | GnRH from the Hypothalamus causes FSH secretion from the Pituitary Gland which stimulates the Sertoli Cells. | Converted from testosterone, this hormone's function is complex. It may prevent apoptosis of male germ cells. |
| hCG | Sertoli Cells | GnRH from the Hypothalamus causes FSH secretion from the Pituitary Gland which stimulates the Sertoli Cells. | Converted from testosterone, this hormone's function is complex. It may prevent apoptosis of male germ cells. |
