Background
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is synthesised and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary gland. FSH and LH act synergistically in reproduction in women. FSH hormone stimulates the growth of immature Graafian follicles to maturation in the ovary. As the follicle grows it releases inhibin, which shuts off the FSH production. In men, FSH enhances the production of androgen-binding proteinby the Sertoli cells of the testes and is critical for spermatogenesis. In both males and females, FSH stimulates the maturation of germ cells. In females, FSH initiates follicular growth, mainly affecting granulosa cells. Like LH, FSH release at the pituitary gland is controlled by pulses of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). In turn, those pulses are subject to the estrogen feed-back from the gonads.
