Introduction: Inhibin is a hetrodimeric glycoprotein consisting of one á subunit and either one asubumit (inhibin B) or âA B subunit (inhibin B; Burger,1993). Inhibin B is predominantly produced by the sertoli cells (Illingworth et al, 1996). Inhibin B peak shortly after birth probably reflects the proliferating activity of the sertoli cells. It's level then decreases and remains low until puberty, when it rises again. In adult male, serum level of inhibin B is stable through out life (Bohring and Krause, 2003).
