TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Sex Steroids A1 - Stringer, Janet L. PY - 2022 T2 - Basic Concepts in Pharmacology: What You Need to Know for Each Drug Class, 6e AB - Sex hormones are produced by the gonads and inner layer of the cortex of the adrenal medulla. The synthesis and release of the hormones are controlled by the anterior pituitary (luteinizing hormone [LH] and follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]) and the hypothalamus (gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH]). Therefore, we include in this chapter the actual sex steroids, but also GnRH agonists and antagonists.
