About FSH Blood Test in Berkeley
FSH and LH are central to the hormonal signaling that regulates the reproductive system.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. In women, FSH stimulates ovarian follicle development and estrogen production, while a mid-cycle LH surge triggers ovulation and supports the corpus luteum. In men, FSH promotes sperm production within the seminiferous tubules, and LH stimulates testosterone synthesis in the Leydig cells.
Because FSH and LH operate within a feedback loop involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonads, their measured concentrations can help distinguish whether an abnormal reproductive finding originates centrally or at the gonadal level. Elevated gonadotropins often suggest reduced gonadal feedback, whereas low values may point to pituitary or hypothalamic causes. The panel is therefore used across a range of clinical evaluations rather than for any single condition.
Results are interpreted alongside the clinical picture, including age, sex, menstrual history, and other hormone measurements such as estradiol or testosterone. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and by population, so values should be read against the reporting lab's own intervals. A single measurement is rarely diagnostic on its own, and repeat testing or additional evaluation may be appropriate when results are unexpected.
