gonadotropin-releasing hormone









































gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) is a releasing hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) from the anterior pituitary. gnrh is a tropic peptide hormone synthesized and released from gnrh neurons within the hypothalamus. the peptide belongs to gonadotropin-releasing hormone family. it constitutes the initial step in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis.

the identity of gnrh was clarified by the 1977 nobel laureates roger guillemin and andrew v. schally:
gonadotropin-releasing hormone
as with many hormones, gnrh has been called by various names in the medical literature over the decades since its existence was first inferred. they are as follows:









































bullet::::- gonadotropin-releasing factor (gnrf, grf); gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh, grh)









































bullet::::- follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor (frf, fsh-rf); follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (frh, fsh-rh)









































bullet::::- luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (lrf, lhrf); luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lrh, lhrh)









































bullet::::- follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone–releasing factor (fsh/lh-rf); follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (fsh/lh-rh)









































bullet::::- luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone–releasing factor (lh/fsh-rf); luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (lh/fsh-rh)









































bullet::::- gonadorelin (inn for pharmaceutical form)









































bullet::::- gonadoliberin
