The pituitary gland stores and releases hormoes called gonadotropins( FSH- follicle stimulating hormone and LH luetinizing hormone) which triggers the production of testosterone LH is responsible for the secreting of the sex hormones testosterone and FSH is resonsible for stimulating the productin of sperm, IF a decrease in LH occurs a decrease in testoterone will occur.

The pituitary gland controls the emission of testosterone. It uses the luteinizing hormone to do so.
