Summary
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted from the medial basal hypothalamus and controls pituitary function via the hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular system [1]. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in response to GnRH pulse activity. Physiological modulation of GnRH pulse amplitude and frequency determines the fine interplay between various gonadotropin players during the menstrual cycle [2;3].
