There are two parts of the pituitary gland; the anterior and the posterior. The hormones secreted in the anterior pituitary gland go to the ovaries and testicles as well as many other parts of the whole body (liver, muscles, cartilage, bone, etc.) The hormones secreted in the posterior pituitary gland go into the kidneys, uterus, and breasts.
When your body has an LH surge, you are ovulating and may become pregnant.
L.H is the abbreviation for the hormone that stimulates ovulation
LH, Leutenizing Hormone. It signals the interstitial cells in the testes to start producing testosterone.
The anterior pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone (LH) about the time of ovulation. LH surge triggers the release of mature eggs from the ovary and stimulates the production of progesterone in the ovary.

FSH-harmone, source cell-Gonadotrophs, target tissue-ovaries and testes, effect-stimulates growth of ovarian folicles. LH-harmone, source cell-leutotrophs, target tissue -ovaries and testes, effect-stimulates maturation of follicle cells, promotes ovulation etc.
the anterior pituitary gland produces LH but its target tissue is the gonads.
the anterior pituitary gland produces LH but its target tissue is the gonads.
Testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).LH stimulates the testicular Leydig cells to produce testosterone.FSH stimulates the testicular Sertoli cells that nurture the developing sperm cells. Sertoli cells are also dependent testosterone.
Luteinizing hormone or LH
The pituitary gland secretes FSH and LH. FSH is in charge of stimulating the gonads to produce the gametes (eggs and sperms). However, in males testosterone is needs to produce "good" sperm. LH stimulates a specific group of cells called Leydig cells (intersitial cells) to produce testosterone.
Hormones that target other endocrine glands. Produced by anterior pituitary. Include: FSH, TSH, LH, ACTH.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
There are two parts of the pituitary gland; the anterior and the posterior. The hormones secreted in the anterior pituitary gland go to the ovaries and testicles as well as many other parts of the whole body (liver, muscles, cartilage, bone, etc.) The hormones secreted in the posterior pituitary gland go into the kidneys, uterus, and breasts.
LH triggers the interstitial cells of the testes to produce testosterone. Testosterone levels are are measured by the pituitary gland and if the levels are high enough, the pituitary gland shuts off the secretion of LH. Its a process called negative feedback.
LH = luteinizing hormone
