FSH
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary. FSH stimulates the development of the ovarian follicle and spermatogenesis. The assay is indicated for the investigation of abnormalities of the hypothalamo-hypophyso-gonadal axis, e.g. at pubertal abnormalities, infertility and menstrual disorders.
