follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) originates from the pituitary gland in the brain. Its primary role is to act as the monthly signal to the ovary to develop an egg for ovulation. Pharmacologic preparations of FSH can achieve the development of more than one egg and are employed in such procedures as superovulation and IVF.
