FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, is a critical hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that plays a vital role in the regulation of reproductive processes in both males and females. In women, it stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while in men, it supports sperm production in the testes. Its production and release are tightly regulated by other hormones, especially GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone), and it is essential for proper reproductive health.
