Hormones that stimulate gonadal functions such as GAMETOGENESIS and sex steroid hormone production in the OVARY and the TESTIS. Major gonadotropins are glycoproteins produced primarily by the adenohypophysis (GONADOTROPINS, PITUITARY) and the placenta (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN). In some species, pituitary PROLACTIN and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN exert some luteotropic activities.
Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, hormones that stimulate gamete development and sex hormone secretion.
Hormones secreted by the pituitary gland that control reproductive function, such as LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone).
luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, produced by the pituitary gland.
Hormones produced by the pituitary gland that stimulate the ovaries.
Hormones produced by the anterior pituitary that affect the testis and ovary; include follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
Hormones that are part of the reproductive cycle, i.e. FSH and LH.
Gonadotropins are the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). In women, these hormones stimulate the ovaries, and in men the testicular function. close window
hormones that stimulate the ovary, FSH and LH. They are normally secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. They may be also contained in drugs that are injected in women as part of infertility therapy.
Hormones that control reproductive function. Humanmenopausal Gonadotopin (HMG), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizinghormone (LH).
A generic term referring to both urinary-derived FSH and/or LH product (known as menotropins) and recombinant DNA-derived FSH and LH, as well as the naturally occurring hormones LH and FSH, which are released by the pituitary gland to stimulate the testicles in the man and the ovaries in the woman.
Hormones which control reproductive function: Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Lutenizing Hormone.
Hormones that control reproductive function: Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone.
A hormone which causes gonadal growth (testes in males and ovaries in females).
The hormones FSH and LH which stimulate ovarian function in the female and testicular function in the male.
Hormones produced by and released from the pituitary to control the function of the gonad. There are two gonadotropins: the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and the luetinizing hormone (LH) These hormones are completely different in chemical composition from the steroids.
Hormones released by the pituitary gland that are responsible for the growth of gonads and the secretion of sex hormones (androgen and estrogens).
Fertility drugs given by injection to stimulate the sex glands to produce many follicles. They are similar in composition to the natural FSH and LH produced by the pituitary gland.
literally, "gonad stimulators". The most important gonadotropins are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are produced by the pituitary gland. In women, these gonadotropins help regulate ovulation. In men, they regulate sperm and testosterone production.
Fertility drugs that provide the patient with FSH and LH, or FSH alone. Gonadotropins are highly potent fertility drugs and are not usually used unless clomiphene citrate has proven ineffective. Patients receiving gonadotropins (such as Pergonal®, Gonal F, and Profasi) must be monitored by their physicians.
pituitary hormones that stimulate growth and maturation of the gonads (ovaries and testes) and the secretion of sex hormones by the gonads
The category of hormones capable of stimulating the ovary or the testicle to ultimately result in egg or sperm maturation and release. FSH, LH, and hCG are hormones, and all are used at some time during the ovarian stimulation phase of IVF.
Gonadotropins are the hormones FSH and LH that are normally produced by the pituitary to stimulate the ovary. This group medication has various forms: from urinary origin – both FSH and LH (In Bulgaria are registered: Pergonal, Menogon, Metrodin, Humegon) or from recombinant origin – FSH and LH. Careful monitoring with ultrasound and hormone tests is required to prevent overstimulation of the ovary leading to the hyperstimulation syndrome.
