inhibin

In biochemistry terms the difference between relaxin and inhibin

is that relaxin is a peptide hormone of the insulin superfamily while inhibin is a peptide hormone, secreted by the gonads, which inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and is thus under consideration as a male contraceptive.

As a noun inhibin

is (biochemistry) a peptide hormone, secreted by the gonads, which inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and is thus under consideration as a male contraceptive.

As a verb inhibit is

to hinder; to restrain.

As nouns the difference between contraceptive and inhibin

is that contraceptive is a mechanism or means by which conception as a result of sexual intercourse can be prevented or made less likely while inhibin is (biochemistry) a peptide hormone, secreted by the gonads, which inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and is thus under consideration as a male contraceptive.

As nouns the difference between inhibin and activin

is that inhibin is (biochemistry) a peptide hormone, secreted by the gonads, which inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and is thus under consideration as a male contraceptive while activin is a peptide that participates in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, cell proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, and many other diverse functions.
