Gonadotropin

Gonadotropins are hormones produced by the pituitary gland that play a key role in controlling the reproductive system. They include luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In women, they regulate ovulation and menstrual cycles, while in men, they stimulate sperm production and testosterone release. These hormones are essential for fertility and overall reproductive health. Medical treatments sometimes use synthetic gonadotropins to help people who have difficulty conceiving or have hormonal imbalances.
