Hypothalamus
A structure at the base of the brain that controls (among other things) the action of the pituitary gland. By secreting and releasing hormones, the hypothalamus orchestrates the body's reproductive function in both men and women.
Hypothalamus
A thumb-sized endocrine gland in the base of the brain that controls many body functions and regulates the pituitary gland; also produces gonadotropin releasing hormone.

Hypothalamus - a gland in the brain that releases GnRH (see GnRH), which in turn stimulates the production of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland.

The hypothalamus is a small gland located at the base of the brain, which can be thought of as a "thermostat". Estrogen levels are monitored by the hypothalamus and as they increase, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary to reduce production of FSH.
The hypothalamus in the brain, like a rheostat, detects a lowered amount of estrogen and progesterone in the blood stream during a period.
First, the hypothalamus in the brain makes a hormone called CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone).
Then, CRH tells the pituitary gland to make another hormone called ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).
If a woman's hypothalamus is impaired in any way, there's a distinct possibility her hormones won't manage ovulation properly. That can result in delayed or interrupted menstrual cycle.

Hormones produced by the pituitary and hypothalamus glands and the testicles play a key role in sexual development and sperm production.
Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism/Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadal (HH): Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is a rare condition in which impaired activity of the hypothalamus or pituitary results in below-normal function of the gonads and in abnormally ...
Your hypothalamus (which is in charge of maintaining your hormone levels) sends out a message to your pituitary gland which then sends out the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This FSH triggers a few of your follicles to develop into mature eggs.
During the first, or follicular, phase of the menstrual cycle, the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus releases a hormone that tells that pituitary gland to release FSH.
The cause of growth hormone deficiency can be an underdeveloped, damaged, or malfunctioning pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which can happen before or during birth or can be caused later by an accident or trauma or certain diseases.
A nerve signal is sent to part of the mother`s brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus sends a signal to the mother`s pituitary gland in her brain which starts the release of prolactin and oxytocin.
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is produced by the hypothalamus and travels to the pituitary where it stimulates the production of FSH. FSH directly stimulates the recruitment and growth of the ovarian follicles, each of which contains an egg.
Secondly, athletes often have varied menstrual cycles due to substances in the brain that suppress a gland in the body that produces hormones (the hypothalamus) which causes no periods (amenorrhea).
Endocrine System -- System of glands including the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and testicles or ovaries.
Hormonal imbalances caused by a dysfunction in the mechanism of interaction between the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the testes directly affect the development of sperm (spermatogenesis).
Oxytocin is made in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in the brain and is released into the blood from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland during labor, nipple stimulation, and sex.
Hypothalmic Amenorrhea This results when the hypothalamus, a gland in the brain, stops producing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), ...
The most advanced and rostral portion is the forebrain or prosencephalon, which will subdivide into telencephalon (neocortex forms the cerebral hemispheres) and diencephalon (forms the thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus and epithalamus).
Gonadotropin - Hormones used during ovulation induction to encourage follicular and egg development.
Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) - The hypothalamus secretes this hormone, stimulating the release of gonadotropins (LH and FSH), ...
LH-RH drugs are used when the pituitary or hypothalamus gland is not producing hormones.
