Generally, hormonal analysis in men to study their fertility consists of determining the levels of testosterone, FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone).
FSH is involved in spermatogenesis, that is, in the formation of spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules.
On the other hand, LH acts on the Leydig cells and secretes testosterone, the male sex hormone par excellence.
Finally, testosterone is involved in the development of male sexual characteristics. Thus, testosterone is responsible for the growth of muscle mass, beards and body hair.
