Abstract
Pulsatile gonadotropin secretion is a critical endocrine component of the regulation of the normal menstrual cycle. Pulsatile luteinizing ho rmone (LH) secretion changes dynamically across the menstrual cycle. D erangements of pulsatile LH secretion are found in virtually every men strual disorder. This article summarizes the key features of pulsatile LH secretion in the normal menstrual cycle and in ovulatory disorders .
