Abstract

A mathematical model describing the biochemical interactions of the luteinizing hormone (LH), luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone (LHRH), and testosterone (T) is presented. The model structure consists of a negative feedback mechanism with transportation and secretion delays of different hormones. A comparison of stability and bifurcation analysis in the presence and absence of delays has been performed. Mathematical implications of castration and testosterone infusion are also studied.

Highlights

  • In humans and many other animals, the hormone testosterone (T) is considered to be an extremely important hormone

  • T is primarily generated from the interstitial cells of the testis, which produces about ninety percent with the rest coming from other parts of the endocrine system

  • We have considered a complete luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-luteinizing hormone (LH)-T system model based on certain qualitative experimental observations
