Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin used to regulate reproduction in animals. FSH is administered to promote follicular development and ovulation in females and stimulate sperm production in males.

Essential insights

• Stimulation of follicle growth: FSH binds to specific receptors in the ovaries, promoting the growth and maturation of follicles.
• Regulation of sex hormones: The hormone enhances estrogen production in females and testosterone in males through activation of Sertoli cells in the testes.
• Selective hormonal activity: FSH specifically targets gonadal function with limited systemic effects, minimizing side effects.
