What causes the release of tetosterone?

Testosterone release is primarily stimulated by the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is produced by the pituitary gland in response to signals from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), prompting the pituitary to secrete LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH specifically triggers the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Factors such as physical activity, stress, and overall health can also influence testosterone levels.
