What stimulates the release of gonadotropins?
In vertebrates, gonadotropin secretion is stimulated by the hypothalamic decapeptide GnRH (1–5).
What hormones signal the release of gonadotropins?
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….Gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Which organ is responsible in releasing gonadotropins?
A hormone made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone causes the pituitary gland in the brain to make and secrete the hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
What stimulates the release of hormones?
The release of hormones can be triggered by changes in the blood (“humor”), by the actions of other hormones, or by neurological stimuli.
What is gonadotropin stimulation?
Gonadotropins are hormones (luteinizing hormone [LH] and follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]) that can be given in an injection to stimulate a woman’s ovaries to produce follicles, which contain an oocyte (egg).
Where is follicle-stimulating hormone secreted from?
pituitary gland
FSH is made by your pituitary gland, a small gland located underneath the brain. FSH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning.
Which of the following is gonadotropin stimulating hormone?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are called gonadotropins because stimulate the gonads – in males, the testes, and in females, the ovaries. They are not necessary for life, but are essential for reproduction.
What stimulates the hypothalamus to initiate the release of GnRH?
Kisspeptin acts primarily at the level of the hypothalamus to stimulate GnRH secretion. Nevertheless, a number of studies have demonstrated the ability of kisspeptins to act directly on pituitary gonadotrope cells to stimulate LH release.
What stimulates the hypothalamus to release its hormones?
The hypothalamus responds to a variety of signals from the internal and external environment including body temperature, hunger, feelings of being full up after eating, blood pressure and levels of hormones in the circulation.
What endocrine gland produces and releases the gonadotropins FSH and LH?
As a consequence, the pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH) hormones. These hormones, LH and FSH, are essential to male and female reproductive health.
