A 38-year-old male is upset about his low sperm count and visits a "practitioner" who commonly advertises his miracle cures of sterility. The practitioner is a quack who treats conditions of low sperm count with megadoses of testosterone. Although his patients experience a huge surge in libido, their sperm count is even lower after hormone treatment.
a) Which two glands would be responsive to the megadose of testosterone?
b) Identify the two hormones that would be affected by themegadose of testosterone. Would their levels increase or decrease?
c) What role, if any, would either of the affected hormones have on the man's reduced sperm count?
