LH FSH Secretion

Meaning

LH FSH secretion describes the pulsatile release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland, which are the primary gonadotropins regulating reproductive function in both males and females. These glycoprotein hormones are essential for gamete maturation and the synthesis of sex steroids by the gonads. Precise secretion patterns are critical for maintaining the reproductive axis, fertility, and overall hormonal balance throughout the lifespan. Clinical assessment of their ratio and pulsatility is vital for diagnosing reproductive disorders.
