Answer 3

The pituitary gland is considered the chief of the endocrine system. It sends hormones to various other endocrine organs so that they can secrete hormones to do the actual work. For male reproductive systems, the pituitary secretes TSH (testosterone stimulating hormone) to allow the male gonads to secrete testosterone. This in teens leads to puberty. If he gets an early activation of TSH, he is likely to enter puberty early and develop secondary masculine sexual characteristics early

Answer 4

Oh I'm so sorry don't put TSH that was thyroid stimulating hormone. You can just say he gets early puberty.

I did this stuff a while ago and I'm really relying on my memory. I forgot the mechanism of testosterone stimulation
