Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates sperm production while luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates testosterone production. By manipulating only FSH, sperm production can be eliminated without affecting the maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. This can be achieved through the use of FSH receptor agonists, which block the action of FSH on the testes.
