Abstract excerpt
Gonadotrophs are the essential pituitary endocrine cells for reproduction. They produce both luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH) hormones that act on the gonads. Gonadotrophs first appear in the embryonic pituitary, along with other endocrine cell types, and all expand after birth.
