Detailed explanation-1: -Luteinizing hormone (LH): This hormone stimulates ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
Detailed explanation-2: -GnRH then stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary. In men, LH stimulates certain cells in the testes (i.e., Leydig cells) to release testosterone.
Detailed explanation-3: -LH stimulates your testes to make testosterone, a hormone your body needs to produce sperm. Testosterone is also responsible for secondary sex characteristics, like a deeper voice and more body hair and muscle mass.
Detailed explanation-4: -LH is made by your pituitary gland, a small gland located underneath the brain. 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.
