Gonadotropins – hormone stimulation in IVF

Gonadotropins are hormones that are naturally produced by a part of the brain called the pituitary gland. This is an endocrine gland that stimulates the activity of the gonads by producing gonadotropins, and it is in charge of the secretion of sex hormones. In reproductive medicine, these hormones are administered in the form of stimulating drugs that stimulate the ovaries to produce more than one follicle.
