2. Follicle-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicle-stimulating_hormone

   FSH has a beta subunit of 111 amino acids (FSH β), which confers its specific biologic action, and is responsible for interaction with the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor. [6] The sugar portion of the hormone is covalently bonded to asparagine, and is composed of N-acetylgalactosamine, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, and sialic ...

   GnRH nudges the pituitary gland to produce luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH calls on the Leydig cells (also in the testes) to make testosterone.

4. Fertility testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_testing

   This test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone, a hormone that increases just before ovulation, that is in the urine. Before ovulation, the luteinizing hormone levels dramatically increase; this is known as the "LH surge". This test can recognize the LH surge about 1-1.5 days prior to ovulation.

5. Glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoprotein_hormones...

   Glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CGA gene. [5]The gonadotropin hormones, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are heterodimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits (also called chains) that are associated non-covalently.

6. Follicular phase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_phase

   Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland (Figure 2). FSH secretion begins to rise in the last few days of the previous menstrual cycle, [3] and is the highest and most important during the first week of the follicular phase [4] (Figure 1).

7. Ovarian reserve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_reserve

   The most commonly used test to assess this ovarian reserve is the day 3 FSH test. [7] This blood test determines the level of FSH on cycle day 3. Cycle day 3 is chosen because at this time the estrogen level is expected to be low, a critical feature, as FSH levels are subject to a negative feedback.
