Question

Testosterone is a potent anabolic in the male, and drives both libido as well as sperm production. Yet men who take testosterone as a supplement in high doses over time may become impotent and even infertile. What is the physiological explanation for this apparent contradiction? Make sure to define the entire process used by the body to control testosterone production. And then explain how the supplement may alter that system.
