What is the effect of GnRH produced by hypothalamus?
Options
- AStimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens
- BStimulates secretion of milk in mammary glands
- CStimulates foetal ejection reflex
- DStimulates synthesis of carbohydrates from non-carbohydrates in liver
Correct answer
A. Stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens
Step-by-step solution
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to secrete two gonadotropic hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). In male LH activates the Leydig's (interstitial) cells of the testis to secrete androgens.
