Annotation
general or unspecified; prefer specifics
Scope Note
Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis (
PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR
) that stimulate gonadal functions in both males and females. They include
FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE
that stimulates germ cell maturation (
OOGENESIS
;
SPERMATOGENESIS
), and
LUTEINIZING HORMONE
that stimulates the production of sex steroids (
ESTROGENS
;
PROGESTERONE
;
ANDROGENS
).
