Vedclass · Answer

(D) Inhibin is a peptide hormone produced by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles in females and by the Sertoli cells (nurse cells) in the testes of males.Its primary physiological function is to provide negative feedback to the anterior pituitary gland.Specifically,inhibin selectively inhibits the secretion of $FSH$ (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) without significantly affecting the secretion of $LH$ (Luteinizing Hormone).Therefore,the statement that it is produced by granulosa cells in the ovary and inhibits the secretion of $FSH$ is correct.
