Solution
Verified by Toppr

  • Inhibin is a protein secreted by granulosa (female) and sertoli (male) cells in response to FSH.
  • It inhibits the release of FSH by negative feedback loop but not LH from the pituitary. Inhibin is also synthesized by the placenta.

So, the correct answer is option B.
