the name for the pulsatile hypothalamic hormone that regulates the production of LH and FSH and therefore controls the function of the ovaries.

Hormone released by the hypothalamus which acts to control the synthesis and release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the pituitary gland.

This is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce (LH) luteinising hormone and (FSH) follicle stimulating hormone.
