The pituitary gland is situated under the brain and is an endocrine gland. The pituitary gland produces the adrenocorticotrophic hormones (ACTH), which are essential for all vital organs of the body. The pituitary gland is responsible for regulating the production of hormones in the adrenal and thyroid glands.
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control how much testosterone the testes produce and secrete. The hypothalamus sends a signal to the pituitary gland to release gonadotrophic substances (follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone). Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates testosterone production.If too much testosterone is produced, the hypothalamus alerts the pituitary gland to make less LH, which tells the testes to decrease testosterone levels.Disorders of the Testes: Hypogonadism.uteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates testosterone production. If too much testosterone is produced, the hypothalamus alerts the pituitary gland to make less LH, which tells the testes to decrease testosterone levels. Disorders of the Testes: Hypogonadism.
