Gonadotropins are protein hormones secreted by gonadotrope cells of the pituitary gland of vertebrates.1
Gonadotropin is sometimes abbreviated Gn. The British spelling is gonadotrophin. Contents 1 Types 2 Mechanism 3 Diseases 4 References 5 External links // Types
The two principal gonadotropins in vertebrates are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) although primates produce a third gonadotropin called chorionic gonadotropin (CG). LH and FSH are heterodimers consisting of two peptide chains an alpha chain and a beta chain linked by Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. LH and FSH sh
can occur in the absence of LH It is hypothesized that the inhibitory effects of factors such as oocyte maturation inhibitor or luteinization inhibitor are overcome at ovulation Fig 4 Changes in gonadotropins and ovarian steroids during mensis jpg Figure 4 Changes in gonadotropins and ovarian steroids at midcycle just prior to ovulation The initiation of LH

are nearly identical alpha chains (about 100 amino acids long) whereas the beta chain provides specificity for receptor interactions. These subunits are heavily modified by glycosylation.
Another human gonadotropin is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) produced by the placenta during pregnancy.
Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG) is a mixture of FSH LH and hCG extracted and purified from the urine of postmenopausal women.2 It is used to treat anovulation in women by stimulating follicular development as well as hypo- or normagonadotropic hypogonadism in men and in combination with hCG it can stimulate spermatogenesis.2 Mechanism g

onadotropin-releasing hormone
Gonadotropin receptors are embedded in the surface of the target cell membranes and coupled to the G-protein system. Signals triggered by binding to the receptor are relayed within the cells by the cyclic AMP second messenger system.
Gonadotropins are released under the control of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the arcuate nucleus and preoptic area of the hypothalamus. The gonads testes and ovaries are the primary target organs for LH and FSH. The gonadotropins affect multiple cell types and elicit multiple responses from the target organs. As a simplified generalization LH stimulates the L

Diseases
Gonadotropin deficiency due to pituitary disease results in hypogonadism which can lead to infertility. Treatment includes administered gonadotropins which therefore work as fertility medication. Such can either be produced by extraction and purification from urine or be produced by recombinant DNA.
Failure or loss of the gonads usually results in elevated levels of LH and FSH in the blood. References Parh
