Figures & data
Figure 1. The endocrine control of the prostate gland. The main regulator is testosterone, which is produced from the testes (95%) and the adrenals (5%). Testosterone production is regulated by LH (testes) and ACTH (adrenals). The pituitary production of LH is regulated by GnRH from the hypothalamus.
