A client has been diagnosed with an anterior pituitary tumor, and synthesis and release of follicle-stimulating hormone has become deranged. what are the potential consequences of this alteration in endocrine function?
The answer would be: dysfunction of spermatogenesis
Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) is one of the hormones that was regulated by the anterior pituitary. FSH is secreted by the gonadotropic cells and it has roles in growth and development of sexual organs. FSH will promote maturation of ovarium in female and spermatogenesis in the male.
