Essential Biochemistry, Endocrinology and Nutrition
Biochemistry is the research of the chemistry of dwelling organisms, of the ways that nutrients is used to serve the entire many wants of the physique. Biochemistry is heavily hooked up with food, the research of the kinds and quantities of assorted fabrics required within the vitamin. Biochemistry can also be inextricably int~rtwined with endo crinology, the learn of hormones, for many of the hormones exert their activities by means of changing the behaviour of chemical reactions in the physique.

This suggested that some “substance produced by the metabolic processes” involved in spermatogenesis might act as the endocrine agent. The findings on vertebrate reproductive cycles had a major effect on public opinion among reproductive biologists of that era, and raised serious doubts that Leydig cells were the only or even the main source of male hormone.
