How many of the given statements are correct?
I: In males, LH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of hormones called androgens from testis.

In males, androgens like testosterone secreted by Leydig cells in testes do not:

1. regulate the development, maturation and functions of the male accessory sex organs
2. control the development and regulation of the secondary sexual characters
3. play a major stimulatory role in the process of spermatogenesis
4. produce catabolic effects on protein and carbohydrate metabolism

Androgens:
I: regulate the development, maturation and functions of the male accessory sex organs.
II: stimulate muscular growth, growth of facial and axillary hair, aggressiveness, low pitch of voice etc.
III: play a major stimulatory role in the process of spermatogenesis (formation of spermatozoa).
IV: act on the central neural system and influence the male sexual behaviour (libido).
V: produce anabolic (synthetic) effects on protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
