Sperm production comes from FSH.
HCG mimmics LH.
"By stimulating the production
of protein that binds androgens, FSH promotes a higher concentration
of testosterone in this region, which stimulates the maturation of
sperm cells (spermatogenesis)."
I dont know if HCG elevates FSH or not but I kindof think for some reason it does.
If the nuts get atrophied and you lose alot of size in there it would make sense considering the sertoli cells make up the majority of the mass of the testicles.
If the leydig cells only make up a small portion then why such size diffrence?
This is why I think HCG might raise FSH or maybe allow for more testosterone production in the nuts to produce sperm.
Not sure but the article I copied it from didnt say.
Maybe I can look into this and have an answer.
