Inhibin B
Inhibin B is a hormone produced primarily by the testes in males and the ovaries in females. It plays a crucial role in regulating the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland. By inhibiting FSH secretion, Inhibin B helps maintain the balance of reproductive hormones in the body.
In males, Inhibin B is important for sperm production and overall fertility. In females, it is involved in the menstrual cycle and ovarian function. Measuring Inhibin B levels can provide valuable information about reproductive health and is often used in fertility assessments.
