What Does GNRH Stand For?

GNRH stands for Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is a key hormone produced in the hypothalamus that plays a crucial role in regulating the reproductive system. It stimulates the release of gonadotropins, namely luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), from the anterior pituitary gland. These gonadotropins are essential for the development and functioning of the ovaries and testes, influencing processes such as puberty, menstrual cycles, and fertility. GnRH is pivotal for the modulation of reproductive health and is a target for various therapeutic interventions in hormonal disorders.
