A Reproductive Hormone That is Secreted Directly from a Structure

Question

A reproductive hormone that is secreted directly from a structure in the brain is
A)testosterone.
B)estradiol.
C)progesterone.
D)follicle-stimulating hormone.
E)gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Accepted Answer

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted from the hypothalamus in the brain and stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH and LH then stimulate the production of reproductive hormones such as testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone.
