gonadotrophin
Fertility-stimulating hormone
Gonadotrophin is a hormone that stimulates the gonads—the ovaries or testes.
The pituitary gland produces gonadotrophins that regulate reproductive function, triggering ovulation or sperm production.
Synthetic gonadotrophins are used in fertility treatments: She was prescribed gonadotrophin injections to stimulate egg development.
Also spelled gonadotropin.
