What hormones does pituitary produce?
FSH and LH.
What inhibits secretion of LH and FSH?
Progesterone
What does fsh and lh hormoes target?
fish
How do fsh n lh help in pcos?
In PCOS patient there is Elevated level of LH where dr cannot use HMG, coz HMG has FSH and LH in 1:1 ratio. AS LH levels r high in PCOS patient no need to give LH. so in those patient Dr's can use on FSH for follicular growth.
What does testosterone do to FSH and LH prior to puberty?
Catalyzes
What are gonadotropins?
FSH and LH are gonadotrophins.They are secreted by pitutory.
What gland targets the fsh ans lh?

What does FSH and LH directly promote development of what during uterine cycle?
FSH- follicleLH- corpus luteum
How can FSH be the cause of not producing eggs?
FSH, secreted by the Pituitary gland,stimulates the secretion of Oestrogen from the ovaries, Oestrogen in turn stimulates the secretion of LH by the pituitary and inhibits the secretion of FSH, LH then stimulates ovulation (the release of an egg). Without FSH this chain reaction does not happen.
What are FSH and LH Pituitary Hormones?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone synthesised and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary gland. FSH and LH act synergistically in reproduction: * In women, in the ovary FSH stimulates the growth of immature Graafian follicles to maturation. As the follicle grows, it releases inhibin, which shuts off the FSH production. * In men, FSH enhances the production of androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells of the testes, and is critical for spermatogenesis. Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. In concert with the other pituitary gonadotropin follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) it is necessary for proper reproductive function: * In the female, an acute rise of LH - the LH surge - triggers ovulation. * In the male, where LH had also been called Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH), it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone.
