What Results Can I Expect? Endogenous gonadorelin is synthesized by and/or released from the hypothalamus during various stages of the bovine estrous cycle following appropriate neurogenic stimuli. It passes via the hypophyseal portal vessels, to the anterior pituitary to effect the release of gonadotropins (e.g. LH, FSH). Synthetic gonadorelin administered intramuscularly or intravenously also causes the release of endogenous LH and FSH from the anterior pituitary.
