Luteinizing Hormone produced by the pituitary gland present at the base of the brain.
In women LH helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and egg production. It stimulates the follicles to release the egg. The level of LH varies depending on the period of the menstrual cycle. There is an increase just before the ovulation occurs.
In men LH stimulates the production of testosterone and is very important for sperm production.
Luteinising hormone
That is LH Luteinising hormone.
There is no such a hormone.FSH's release is triggered by Gonadarophin releasing hormone.
Leutenising hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
(FSH) Follicle-stimulating hormone. (LH) Luteinising hormone. Oestrogen. Testosterone.
Luteinising hormone (LH) is made by the pituitary gland and stimulates the mature egg to be released from the ovary, this is called ovulation.
Adrenaline, thyroxine, insulin, oxytocin, pituitrin, testosterone, luteinising hormone, ADH (anti diuretic hormone) oestrogen, progesterone, growth hormone. And many more besides.

The main hormones that are involved in puberty are testosterone for males and oestrogen (can also be spelt 'estrogen') and progesterone for females. These are released from a gland in the brain called the pituitary gland. Other hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).
LH ( luteinising hormone) is stimulated by oestrogen and secreted by the pituitary gland. As oestrogen levels rise it will inhibit the production of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and will encourage the production of LH. As LH rises to a peak in the middle of the menstrual cycle, they will stimulate the release of a mature egg.
