Inhibin, as its name implies, is an inhibitor. The specific action of inhibin is to inhibit the release of FSH. Inhibin occurs as a heterodimer It is produced in the male and the female. Inhibin is produced by the ovarian granulosa cells to prevent more than one follicle (in general) from becoming a mature follicle.
