The last one
Inhibin infusion to the male

FSH?
LH?
GnRx?

  #17

Typo, should be GnRH,

  #18

i guess FSH decr (- feedback), no efect on LH since are 2 independent - feedbacks and no effect on GnRH since that is" in pulses" from preoptic hypothalam. region

  #19

one more thing to add..... inhibin infusion---> inhibits spermatogenezis since the anterior pituit. release of FSH is REQUIRED for a Normal spermatogen.smiling face

  #20

dec FSH
LH no effect
GnRH no effect
