Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone.[1] FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland[2] and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) work together in the reproductive system.[3]
