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).

How goserelin works on downregulation of gnrh?
Goserelin is an GnRH receptor agonist and bings stronger than GnRH. Due to the constant activation of the GnRH receptor (Goserelin binds really strong; Superagonist) the cell internalizes the receptor -> Downregulation.
What does GnRH stand for?
GnRH 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.
Is GnRH a steroid hormone?
No, GnRH or gonadotropin releasing hormone is not a steroid, but rather a peptide (type of protein) hormone.
Gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH is a?
hypothalamic hormone
GnRH directly stimulates the release of?
FSH and LH
Which hypothalamic hormone triggers the secretion of FSH?
GnRH
What secretes and produces GnRH?
GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is secreted and produced by a specific group of neurons located in the hypothalamus of the brain. These neurons release GnRH in a pulsatile manner, regulating the production and release of hormones involved in the control of the reproductive system.
Is GnRH's target organ the pituitary gland?
The answer is Anterior Pituitary
Where is Gnrh produced?
what i learned in class was that GnRH was produced by the Hypothalamus gland, and it stimulated the release of FSH and LH in the Anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Breast feeding is thought to inhibit ovulation by directly?
inhibiting the secretion of GnRH
What hormone stimulates oestrogen production?
FSH-Follicle stimulating hormone
How do gonadotropic hormones regulate spermatogenesis and testosterone production?
GnRH regulates the ovarian hormones by way that it is only produced till estrogen and proestrogen level are optimal and then they use negative feedback to send signals to GnRH to stop producing
