Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -LH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning. In women, LH helps control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers the release of an egg from the ovary. This is known as ovulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luteinizing hormone (LH) plays a key role in gonadal function. LH in synergy with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates follicular growth and ovulation. Thus, normal follicular growth is the result of complementary action of FSH and LH.
Detailed explanation-3: -LH stimulates estrogen and progesterone production from the ovary. It subsequently stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. LH stimulates testosterone production from the interstitial cells of the testes.
