2. Follicle-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicle-stimulating_hormone

   Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. [1] FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland [2] and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) work together in the ...

3. Luteinizing hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luteinizing_hormone

   Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as luteinising hormone, [1] lutropin and sometimes lutrophin [2]) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. The production of LH is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. [ 3 ]

4. Gonadotropin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin

   Gonadotropins are glycoprotein hormones secreted by gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary of vertebrates. [1] [2] [3] This family includes the mammalian hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), the placental/chorionic gonadotropins, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), [3] as well as at least two forms of fish ...

5. What Is Low Testosterone & What Causes It? - AOL

   www.aol.com/low-testosterone-causes-125700734.html

   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.

6. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin-releasing_hormone

   Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a releasing hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary.

7. Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

   The anterior portion of the pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and the gonads produce estrogen and testosterone. In oviparous organisms (e.g. fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds), the HPG axis is commonly referred to as the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal-liver axis (HPGL-axis) in females ...

8. 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.

9. Gonadotropic cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropic_cell

   Gonadotropic cells (also known as gonadotropes, gonadotrophs, delta cells, or delta basophils) are endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary that produce gonadotropins.More specifically, gonadotrophs produce and secrete glycoprotein polypeptide hormones, such as the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are released due to the positive input of gonadotropin ...
