positive feedback loop

negative feedback loop

unstable

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In people with testes, sex hormones (like testosterone) are stable. This stability is due to a negative feedback loop. A negative feedback loop works by regulating hormone levels. When hormone levels are high, it signals the body to reduce production, and when levels are low, it signals to increase production. This keeps the hormone levels relatively constant.

Answer:

negative feedback loop
