Gonadal sex hormones are produced by gonadotropins (FSH- Follicle Stimulating Hormone and LH- Luteinizing hormone) from the anterior pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. They stimulate male and female gonads to produce hormones of their own. FSH and LH secretion is controlled by GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)‚ which is a releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.
