Question:

What is the effect of GnRH produced by hypothalamus?

Stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens

Stimulates synthesis of carbohydrates from non-carbohydrates in liver

Stimulates secretion of milk in mammary glands

Stimulates foetal ejection reflex

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.
