1
Q

klinefelters

A

XXY

seminiferous tubule dysgenesis

2
Q

What promotes intrauterine development of testes

A

SRY gene on Y chrom

3
Q

what produces AMH

A

sertoli cells

4
Q

what produces T

A

leydig cells

5
Q

what hormone stimulates fetal leydig cell production of T before LH is produced?

A

hCG

6
Q

what can be used to stimulate spermatogenesis in oligospermic men

A

hCG

7
Q

what is required for development of other male organs and secondary sex characteristics?

A

DHT

8
Q

what enzyme is required for conversion of T -> DHT

A

5alpha-reductase-2

9
Q

6-8 weeks gestataion

A

differentiation of testes (SRY)

10
Q

wk 8 gestation

A

retention of wolffian ducts d/t T and regression of mullerian ducts d/t AMH

11
Q

wk 9-12 gestation

A

male type external genitalia d/t DHT

12
Q

what enzyme converts androgen to estrogen

A

CYP19-aromatase

13
Q

what hormone initiates puberty?

A

pulsatile sleep associated release of GnRH

14
Q

primary hypogonadism labs

A

gonadotropin levels elevated

androgen production is reduced

15
Q

androgenic actions of androgens

A
  • differentiation of male internal T and external genitalia DHT in fetus
  • growth, development of secondary sex characteristics at puberty
  • maintenance of reproductive tract and production of semen
  • initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis
16
Q

anabolic actions of androgens

A
  • stimulation of erythropoietin synthesis
  • stimulation of sebaceous gland secretion
  • control of protein anabolic effects (N retention)
  • stimulation of linear body growth, bone growth, and closure of epiphyses
  • promotion of ABP synthesis
  • maintenance of secretions of sex glands
  • regulation of behavioral effects, libido
17
Q

what protein is responsible for maintaining T concentration in testes

A

ABP

androgen binding protein

18
Q

how much T is required for spermatogenesii

A

100x > circulating levels

19
Q

what cells are the target of LH

A

leydig

20
Q

what cells are target of FSH

A

sertoli

21
Q

GnRH therapy

A

can be used to Tx prostate CA

if given continuously supresses LH and FSH production therefore decreases T

22
Q

supportive fnx of sertoli cells

A

maintaining testes-blood barrier
phagocytosis
nutrients for sperm
R for hormones and paracrines

23
Q

exocrine fnx of sertoli cells

A

fluid produced for sperm mobilization
production of ABP
spermination (release of sperm into tubule)

24
Q

endocrine fnx of sertoli cells

A

expression of T, ABP, and FSH Rs

production of AMH, aromatase, and inhibin B
