Gonadotropic hormones FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are produced and secreted by the gonadotrophs in anterior pituitary.

These are the trophic hormones that act on the ovaries and testes. Required for ovulation, spermatogenesis, biosynthesis of estrogens and androgens. They are also used therapeutically to promote fertility.

Their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus GRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone), where GRH stimulates the release of FSH and LH and FSH and LH feedback and decreases levels of GRH release. Estrogens and androgens also feedback and inhibit the gonadotrophs in the pituitary and feedback on the hypothalamus.
