Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind the increased level of FSH that raises the likelihood of fraternal twins.
Introduction:
The FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is released by the gonadotropic cells of anterior pituitary gland. FSH helps in the regulation of sexual development, pubertal maturation, growth, and reproductive processes in an individual. FSH plays an important role in the maturation of germ cells, initiate follicular growth and induces ovary to produce estrogen.
