Like follicle-stimulating hormone, Sertoli cells transduce signals from this (*) hormone, activating genes involved in germ cell differentiation.
The drug finasteride inhibits this hormone's conversion into a more active metabolite. Oxidation and loss of a methyl group converts this hormone into estradiol, as catalyzed by aromatase. Like follicle-stimulating hormone, Sertoli cells transduce signals from this (*) hormone, activating genes involved in germ cell differentiation. This anabolic steroid secreted by Leydig cells is part of the androgen family, and it promotes the development of some secondary sex characteristics. For 10 points, name this steroid hormone, secreted primarily by the testes.
The drug finasteride inhibits this hormone's conversion into a more active metabolite.
