What is "gonadotrophic hormone"?
Gonadotrophic hormone refers to a hormone that stimulates the function of the gonads, which are the reproductive organs. Specifically, it refers to the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which play crucial roles in regulating the growth, development, and function of the ovaries in females and the testes in males. These hormones are essential for reproductive processes such as the maturation of eggs, ovulation, and the production of sperm.
