What is the difference between TESTICUALR inhibition and PITUITARY inhibition. I need some facts on this topic

Not sure what you are looking for, but testicular inhibition usually means the testies are inhibited from their action by the presence of an agonist on the receptors in the testes. They can also be inhibited from downregulation of the leydig cells, often caused by too much LH and/or hcg.

Pituitary inhibition is pretty much the same thing, but it is caused by estrogens and androgens flooding the receptor cells in the pituitary gland, which shuts down LH and FSH. But you know this, so what exactly are you asking? This is a basic negative feedback physiology.

I'm just not clear on PITUITARY inhibition.

This should answer you question.

That citation was a bit dusty (old, circa 70s). Biochemistry and molecular biology have come quite a ways since then.

See this site.

Foreman's technical training is good enuf to get him through the majority of the medical terminology.

Thanks Trouble, I just bookmarked it and will read it tonight.

Thank-you, Foreman. There was a piece to a puzzle that I needed reminding on, for a client. I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't pulled up that webpage to post here, in reply to your question.

Good dharma - a little good deed that repaid the kindness, in spades.
