Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Gonadotropins are the protein hormones that are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in the body. These hormones include luteinizing hormone (LH), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), as well as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These are involved in the reproductive functions of the body.
