Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is a key hormone produced in the brain that plays an essential role in regulating reproduction. It signals the pituitary gland to release other hormones, specifically luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are critical for the function of the ovaries in women and the testes in men. By controlling the release of these hormones, GnRH influences sexual development, menstrual cycles, and fertility. Its proper functioning is crucial for overall reproductive health.
