The pulsatile release of hormones is crucial because it ensures the proper functioning of the reproductive system. Continuous release of GnRH, for example, would lead to the desensitization of the pituitary gland, thereby disrupting the normal cycle of the menstrual cycle. Pulsatile secretion allows for the appropriate stimulation of the pituitary gland, which in turn releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) at the correct times.
