Seoli cells have receptors for which of the following hormone?
assistant
The correct answer is  Seoli cells serve as "nurse" cells for spermatogenesis, nourishing germ cells as they develop. They also paicipate in germ cell phagocytosis. High-affinity FSH receptors exist on Seoli cells and FSH binding induces the production of androgen-binding protein, which is secreted into the tubular luminal fluid. By binding testosterone, androgen-binding protein ensures that high levels of androgen (20-50 times that of serum) exist within the seminiferous tubules. Ligand-receptor complexes, such as c-kit and kit ligand, may also mediate communication between germinal and Seoli cells. Ref: Turek P.J. (2008). Chapter 44. Male Infeility. In E.A. Tanagho, J.W.
