What are the molecular mechanisms regulating FSH secretion and how do they interact with other hormones in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis?
FSH secretion is primarily regulated by GnRH from the hypothalamus. In response, the anterior pituitary releases FSH, which is modulated by inhibins, activins, and feedback from sex steroids like estrogen and testosterone.
FSH secretion is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which stimulates its release from the pituitary. In turn, FSH stimulates the gonads to produce sex steroids like estrogen and testosterone, which can feedback to suppress GnRH and FSH production.
