HPG Axis Interplay

Meaning

HPG Axis Interplay refers to the complex, reciprocal communication and regulatory feedback loops that exist among the Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, and Gonadal glands (testes or ovaries). This tri-level neuroendocrine system orchestrates the development, function, and maintenance of the reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. The interplay ensures the precise, pulsatile secretion of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and sex steroids, maintaining hormonal homeostasis.
