Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Castration removes the primary source of testosterone production, the testes, leading to low testosterone levels. In response, the body increases the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in an attempt to stimulate testosterone production, resulting in high levels of these hormones.
