Description

Inhibins are a group of hormones produced by the gonads that play a crucial role in regulating the reproductive system. They primarily inhibit the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, thus influencing fertility and reproductive functions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'inhibidores' or 'hormonas inhibidoras', but it is important to use 'inhibinas' in formal contexts. Be aware of the clinical context, as the term is often used in discussions about fertility and hormonal regulation.

Example Sentences

EN: Inhibins play a significant role in the feedback regulation of the reproductive hormone axis.

ES: Las inhibinas desempeñan un papel significativo en la regulación de retroalimentación del eje hormonal reproductivo.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'inhibinas' with 'inhibidores' which may refer to different substances; mispronouncing 'inhibinas' as 'inhibidores'; mixing up the context of hormonal regulation with other endocrine functions.
