About FSH
Binds FSH receptors on Sertoli cells in testes to support sperm maturation and inhibin B production. In women, binds granulosa cell FSH receptors to drive follicular growth and estradiol production.
A pituitary gonadotropin essential for spermatogenesis in men and follicular development in women. Used in fertility treatment and studied for male hypogonadism, azoospermia, and ovarian stimulation protocols.
