No, GnRH or gonadotropin releasing hormone is not a steroid, but rather a peptide (type of protein) hormone.

∙ 11y agoGnRH stands for Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone. It is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of other hormones involved in reproduction, such as LH and FSH.
hypothalamic hormone
GnRH, short for gonadotropin-releasing hormone, is released by the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus. At the beginning of the menstual cycle, the hypothalamus releases GnRH. The GnRH then stimulates a different part of the brain, the pituitary gland, to produce two hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
FSH-Follicle stimulating hormone
GnRH
Insulin is a protein hormone therefore it is a non-steroid hormone.
GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It regulates the production and release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which in turn control the release of sex hormones from the ovaries and testes. GnRH plays a crucial role in the regulation of reproductive functions in both males and females.

Both! Lutenising hormone is a hormone, it is a steroid hormone (affecting the growth/development of reproductive organs). It is present in both females and males :)
During the Luteal phase of the menstrual cycle there is a decrease in the levels of Estrogen (Estradiol) and Progesterone which causes stimulation of Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH).
