Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH); Gonadotropins
Just before puberty two Gonadotropins (sex hormone) are secreted by anterior pituitary in response to luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), also known as gonadotropins releasing hormone (GnRH) produce by hypothalamus.
Gonadotropins regulates function of gonads (Ovaries and Testes).
In both Male and Female
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulate production of gametes (sperm or egg).
FSH target organ are overies and testes.
In female
Luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) are involved in secretion of hormone Oestrogen and progesterone during menstrual cycle.
It stimulate ovulation (release of egg).
As level of Oestrogen and progesterone rise, secretion of LH and FSH is inhibits.
In males,
Luteinizing hormone also called interstitial stimulating hormone (ICSH) stimulates interstitial cell of testes to secrete hormone testosterone.
