Abstract
Luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are glycoproteins composed of two subunits. One, termed β, is hormone-unique and the other, termed α, is common to these two hormones and also to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Both FSH and LH are secreted by basophile cells of the anterior pituitary which are of ectodermal origin. Their secretion is under hypothalamic control and is stimulated by a releasing factor, of known peptide structure, that is variously termed LHRF, LHRH or gonadotropin-releasing hormone, GNRH (this volume, p. 317).
