Gonadotrophin, Gonadotrophic Hormone

Gonadotropin (from ancient Greek ὄγκος - “seed” and τροφή - “nutrition” + -εἰν - suffix indicating presence) is one of the pituitary hormones, which is responsible for the production of sex hormones in the body. It affects the ovaries and testicles, helping them produce sperm and eggs.

Gonadotropins are divided into two main types: follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH). FSH stimulates the growth and development of the follicle in the ovary, and LH controls the process of ovulation. Both hormones can be used to treat infertility in women and men.

Gonadotropin hormone is a word used to describe a group of hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland and affect the function of the reproductive system. These hormones include FSH, LH and other hormones that regulate sex steroid production and spermatogenesis.

Thus, gonadotropins play an important role in regulating reproductive function in men and women.



The complex natural process of converting initial exogenous substances into breakdown products is called gonadal hormone homeostasis. Derivatives of synthetic and foreign origin are gonadotropic steroids (female and male sex hormones), as well as exogenous GnRH-gonadotropins. Of the labile hormonal components, the most valuable component is the gonadotropic tritide of 3,5,3-tetrahydroxyphenylpropionic acid, produced by the prepituitary cavity of the facial bones. It is deposited and released when the concentration of follic or lu is reduced



Gonadotropin, or gonadotropic hormones, is a set of biologically active substances located in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and regulating the functioning of the reproductive system in men and women: the release of hormones in the testicles or ovaries and the development of mammary glands in women.
