Which group of hormones is responsible for the developments during puberty
zepelin [54]
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH for short) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH for short).

When this hormone reaches the pituitary gland, it releases two more hormones into the bloodstream: the LH and FSH. Although boys and girls do have these hormones, it depends on their sexual orientation the way these hormones work.
