Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonadotropic hormones, which include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), primarily function to induce the secretion of steroid hormones by the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males). These steroid hormones include estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone, which are crucial for reproductive function and secondary sexual characteristics.
