a hormone that stimulates the ovaries (such as to produce estrogen).
A pituitary hormone that controls the production by the gonads (testes and ovary) of sperm and eggs.
hormone that stimulates the gonads ( ovaries or testis); a gonadotropic hormone.
stimulated -- injected with hormones that promote the development of several follicles.
A hormone that stimulates the gonads.
Any hormone having a stimulating effect on the gonads.
a hormone that promotes gonad (sex gland) growth and function.
a hormon capable of stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs
Human chorionic: A glycoprotein hormone that is produced by the synctiotrophoblast. It is immunologically similar to luteinizing hormone. Abbreviated as hCG. Human menopausal: A preparation isolated from the urine of menopausal women that consists primarily of FSH with variable amounts of LH. Abbreviated as hMG. Pituitary: Gonad-stimulating anterior pituitary hormone (FSH and LH).
a hormone that stimulates the ovaries and testes.
Hormones produced by the pituitary, which control the action of the ovaries and testes. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) are gonadotropins.
In males, a hormone (usually from the pituitary gland) that stimulates testicular activity and androgen production.
A hormone that induces, or speeds up, the production of eggs in a woman.
A hormone that can stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. HCG (Human chorionic gondatropin) – A hormone that stimulates progesterone production. This is what makes the pregnancy test to be positive.
a hormone (e.g., follicle-stimulating hormone) that acts on the gonads to promote their growth and function.
A hormone from the pituitary gland that stimulates the genital organs to produce the sex hormones.
A hormone (FSH, LH, hMG, hCG) which stimulates the gonads (ovaries or testes).
A hormone capable of stimulating the gonads to produce hormones and / or gametes .
Hormones that are secreted by the pituitary gland, and that affect the function of the male or female gonads. See the entire definition of Gonadotropin
A hormone capable of stimulating the testicles or the ovaries to produce sperm or and egg respectively.
Any hormone that switches on the function of the gonads. There are two main families of gonadotropins: (a) the gonadotropin that stimulates the growth of the follicle, or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH); and (b) those that cause ovulation from the mature follicle and stimulate the corpus luteum that results to develop and to produce progesterone, namely luteinising hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). FSH will cause growing follicles to produce the estrogen estradiol, provided that a small amount of LH (or hCG) is present. FSH and LH are produced in the pituitary gland, whereas hCG comes from the placenta in pregnancy. In men, FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells of the testicular tubules, and hence drives spermatogenesis; LH and hCG stimulate the Leydig cells to produce testosterone.
A hormone that can stimulate the testicles to produce sperm or the ovaries to produce an egg.
Gonadotropins are protein hormones secreted by gonadotrope cells of the pituitary gland of vertebrates. The two principle gonadotropins are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Both hormones consist of two peptide chains, an alpha chain and a beta chain, linked by disulfide bonds.
