FSH
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in the reproductive system. In women, FSH helps stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles (the structures that contain eggs) and triggers the release of estrogen. In men, FSH stimulates the production of sperm in the testes. FSH levels can be measured to assess fertility and diagnose certain reproductive disorders.
