Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Gonadotropins (or Gonadotrophins) are hormones. The two main hormones of the group are Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These hormones are central to the complex endocrine system that regulates normal growth, sexual development, and reproductive function.

The gonadotropins act on the gonads, controlling gamete and sex hormone production. Gonadotropin is sometimes abbreviated Gn.
