deficiency.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKP-10 acts upstream:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKP-10 → GnRH → LH → testes → testosterone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTestosterone replacement supplies androgen directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are fundamentally different interventions, and an intact downstream reproductive axis is necessary for an upstream stimulus to produce its expected response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFertility Is More Than Hormone

disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFemale and male fertility depend upon multiple interacting systems, including gonadal function, gametogenesis, anatomy, genetics, endocrine signaling and reproductive timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndocrine activation ≠ demonstrated fertility
