GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is the main regulator of the release of gonadotropins (such as LH and FSH) from the anterior pituitary. GnRH is released in a pulsatile manner from the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of gonadotropins, which then act on the gonads to regulate reproductive function. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens, CG (chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy, and LH (luteinizing hormone) is one of the gonadotropins released in response to GnRH. However, GnRH is the primary regulator of gonadotropin release.
