    GlossaryGonadotropins (Gonadotropic hormones)

    hormones from the pituitary gland that regulate reproductive organs

    Gonadotropins are hormones produced by the pituitary gland that play a crucial role in regulating the function of the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males). The two main types of gonadotropins are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are essential for reproductive processes such as ovulation, sperm production, and the regulation of menstrual cycles.
