|
inhibits the development of another follicle by inhibiting FSH

|
|
causes ovulation and the ruptured follicle to develop into corpus luteum
|
|
|
stimulates the growth of endometrium lining
|
|
|
stimulates the development of follicles, which in turn leads to estrogen secretion, which in turn inhibits FSH

Detailed explanation-1: -The LH surge increases intrafollicular proteolytic enzymes, weakening the wall of the ovary and allowing for the mature follicle to pass through. The surge also causes the luteinization of thecal and granulosa cells forming the Corpus Luteum, which is responsible for progesterone synthesis levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -In women, LH triggers the creation of steroid hormones from the ovaries [1]. Additionally, LH helps to regulate the length and order of the menstrual cycle in females by playing roles in both ovulation and implantation of an egg in the uterus [2].
Detailed explanation-3: -Luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary is important for normal development and function of the corpus luteum in most mammals, although growth hormone, prolactin, and estradiol also play a role in several species.
Detailed explanation-4: -At about day 14 in the menstrual cycle, a sudden surge in LH causes the mature follicle to rupture and release its egg (ovulation). After ovulation, the ruptured follicle forms a corpus luteum (a temporary endocrine gland) that produces high levels of progesterone.
