Identify the correct statement on 'inhibin':
Options
- AInhibin is a protein secreted by granulosa in female
- BInhibin secreted in response to FSH, and its major action is the negative feedback control of pituitary FSH secretion
- CInhibin is a protein secreted by Sertoli in female
- DInhibin inhibits the secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus
Correct answer
B. Inhibin secreted in response to FSH, and its major action is the negative feedback control of pituitary FSH secretion
Step-by-step solution
Inhibin is a protein secreted by granulosa (female) and Sertoli (male) cells in response to FSH, and its major action is the negative feedback control of pituitary FSH secretion. It is found in blood plasma, although difficult to detect until recently. Inhibin is produced in the gonads, pituitary gland, placenta, corpus luteum and other organs. Inhibin does not inhibit the secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus
