Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonadotropins are a group of hormones that include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). They are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and regulate the growth, development, and function of the gonads (ovaries and testes) in both males and females. They do not include TSH or ACTH, which are hormones that regulate the thyroid gland and adrenal gland, respectively. They also do not promote water retention by the kidneys.
