The term feedback inhibition refers to a situation in which the substances at the end of a long series of reactions inhibits a reaction at the begining of the series of reactions

For example excess of testosterone production gives a negative feedback to the hypothalamus which in turn reduces the production of GnRH which in turn signals the pituitary to slow down the production of FSH & LH. This finally slows down the testosterone production
