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.
What else can I help you with?
What does the hormone LH stand for?
Luteinising hormone
What hormone is at its peak during ovulation?
That is LH Luteinising hormone.
What is the function of luteinising hormone release hormone?
There is no such a hormone.FSH's release is triggered by Gonadarophin releasing hormone.
Which organ secretes Luteinising hormone?
Leutenising hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
What hormone triggers ovulation?
Luteinising hormone (LH) is made by the pituitary gland and stimulates the mature egg to be released from the ovary, this is called ovulation.
What are the names of at least three hormones?
Adrenaline, thyroxine, insulin, oxytocin, pituitrin, testosterone, luteinising hormone, ADH (anti diuretic hormone) oestrogen, progesterone, growth hormone. And many more besides.
What has the author Munther Mustafa Fathi written?
Munther Mustafa Fathi has written: 'The medical biochemistry of alkaline phosphatase' 'Studies on the assay of lutropin (luteinising hormone) using immunoradiometric assay systems'
Which hormones exerts its effect primarily on the reproductive organs?
The hormone primarily affecting the reproductive organs is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH regulates the secretion of other hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn control the functions of the gonads (ovaries and testes) and their production of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
What hormones bring about puberty?
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).
What regulates estrogen and progesterone?
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.
What Hormone is produced by the acidophil cells of the anterior pituitary?
The pituitary hormones help control some of the following body processes:GrowthBlood pressureSome aspects of pregnancy and childbirth including stimulation of uterine contractions during childbirthBreast milk productionSex organ functions in both men and womenThyroid gland functionThe conversion of food into energy (metabolism)Water and osmolarity regulation in the bodySecretes ADH (antidiuretic hormone) to control the absorption of water into the kidneysTemperature regulationthe hormones that are produced areAdrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)Luteinising Hormone (LH)Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)Prolactin (PRL)Growth Hormone (GH)Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)
What hormones do pituitary gland produce?
There are many pituitary gland hormones so there is no simple "one answer". The anterior pituitary releases: Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) which brings about the secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex; Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones; Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) both work on the gonads (ovaries and testes) to produce the sex hormones plus cause production of gametes (ova and spermatozoa); Growth hormone (GH) causes bone growth and an increase in metabolism Prolactin (PL) causes the production of milk from the mammary glands The posterior pituitary doesn't actually produce any hormones (they're produced by cells in the hypothalamus) but two hormones are released in the posterior pituitary and these are: Oxytocin which causes smooth muscle contraction, particularly of the uterus and cervix during childbirth Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which increases water absorption by the kidney tubules.
