  "term": "Gonadotropin-releasing hormone",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A decapeptide hormone synthesized and released from the hypothalamus that controls the secretion of other reproductive hormones. It acts on the anterior pituitary gland, stimulating it to release both luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone into the bloodstream. The pulsatile release of this hormone, with a frequency that varies during the menstrual cycle, governs the complex processes of folliculogenesis, ovulation, and spermatogenesis.",
