Dunham (surname) Dunham is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origination. The origins of the name may be in the Britannic place name âde Dinanâ (Dinan is a walled town in North West France). Alan, Barron de Dinan of Scotland carried the name to the United Kingdom with William the Conqueror in 1066.
Thus HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCGâs effect on the leydig cells of the testis.
The testicle or testis is the male gonad in animals. Like the ovaries to which they are homologous, the testicles (testes) are components of both the reproductive system and the endocrine system. The primary functions of the testes are to produce sperm (spermatogenesis) and to produce androgens, primarily testosterone. Both functions of the testicle are influenced by gonadotropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary. Luteinizing hormone (LH) results in testosterone release.
