Mechanism of FSH :
- FSH is a protein hormone.
- It binds to membrane bound receptor and stimulates the production of second messenger, cyclic AMP or $\mathrm{Ca}^{++}$.
- The second messenger brings about biochemical responses, which results in the production of physiological response.
e.g.- growth of the ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogens from the follicle cells.
