Answered By Gregory S

GnRh is gonadotropin releasing hormone, produced in the hypothalamus. It causes the antieror pituatary to relase hormones that effect the gonads (think testes and or ovary) those hormones being FSH and LH. so in short GnRh will increase the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituatary.

Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRh) is produced and secreted by specialised nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain. 

it stimulates the production of two hormones – folliclestimulating hormone and luteinising hormone . These hormones are released into the general circulation and act on the tested and ovaries to initiate and maintain their reproductive functions. 

increase production of gonadotrophins leading to overproduction of testosterone or oestrogen. 

Thus increase the level of FSH and LH from anterior pituitary.
