Spermatogenesis is regulated by a negative feedback control system in which follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the steps in sperm cell formation. What is the negative feedback signal associated with sperm cell production that inhibits pituitary formation of FSH?

Transcription of eukaryotic genes can be repressed in various ways. These include the four mechanisms
1. Competition |
a-Repression is caused by recruiting histone modifiers that alter nucleosomes in ways that inhibit transcript |
2. Inhibition |
b-A repressor binds to a site on DNA beside an activator and interacts with that activator, occluding its activating region |
3. Direct repression |
c-By binding to a site on DNA that overlaps the binding site of an activator, a repressor can inhibit binding of the activator to a gene and thus block activation of that gene. |
4. Indirect repression |
d-A repressor binds to a site upstream of a gene and, by interacting with the transcriptional machinery at the promoter in some specific way, inhibits transcription initiation. |
