A
thyroxin from thyroid gland
B
ADH from posterior pituitary
C
FSH and LH from anterior pituitary
D
aldosterone from adrenals
Answer
FSH and LH from anterior pituitary
Explanation
Solution
GnRH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the two gonadotropins?luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)?by the anterior pituitary gland. In order to increase serum gonadotropin concentrations in patients with GnRH deficiency, the releasing hormone must be administered in pulses.
