Notes:
Summary The comparative ultrastructural localization of LHβ, FSHβ and GnRH clearly shows that the granules of the FSH/LH cells contain all three hormones. The separate storage of LH and FSH in a significant number of cells, which in the same granules also display GnRH, may suggest that LH-RH is also FSH-RH and may help to explain the non-parallel release of LH and FSH under some functional conditions.
