Seoli cells in the seminiferous tubules have receptors for which of the following hormone?

A
Inhibin
B
Melatonin
C
Luteinizing hormone
D
Follicle stimulating hormone
High-Yield Explanation
Seoli cells have receptors for FSH and testosterone. FSH binds to the receptors in seoli cells and stimulate the production and secretion of inhibin. Inhibin along with testosterone and estradiol, act as a negative feedback regulator of pituitary secretion of FSH. FSH also stimulates seoli cells to produce androgen binding protein. Seoli cells are located within the convoluted seminiferous tubules. These cells extend the entire length of the basement membrane. Ref: Hormones By Anthony W.
