Difference between Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Hormonal contraception

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone vs. Hormonal contraception

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) also known as gonadoliberin, and by various other names in its endogenous form and as gonadorelin in its pharmaceutical form, is a releasing hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. Hormonal contraception refers to birth control methods that act on the endocrine system.

Similarities between Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Hormonal contraception

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Hormonal contraception have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Androgen, Anterior pituitary, Estrogen, Follicle-stimulating hormone, Gonadotropin, Hypothalamus, Luteinizing hormone, Ovulation, Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Androgen

An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone which regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors.

Anterior pituitary

A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior), is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis).
