This is FSH - follicle stimulating hormone. While the hormone was named for its actions in the female (where it was first discovered), FSH was later discovered to also be secreted in the male, although the hormone is secreted continuously rather than in 'pulses' or 'waves' like in the female.

What is the pituitary hormone controls ovulation?
luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary glandgonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) is firs produced in the brain by the hypothalamus.The pituitary gland is then triggered by this to release the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).The FSH is transported to the ovaries, via the bloodstream where it starts the growth of a follicle.Upon the development of the follicle estrogen starts being produced.After approximately 10 days, the estrogen levels become high.Estrogens peak about a day before ovulation. This would be day 13 in a normal 28 day cycle.This peak bring about a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland.This surge acts a cue for the ovarian follicle to release a mature ovum into the fallopian tube leaving behind corpus luteum or the empty follicle.The cells of the corpus luteum produce progesterone and estrogenThe uterine lining is stimulated to thicken with blood by these two hormones to prepare them for the nurturing of the fertilised egg.The corpus luteum starts to diminish and leaves uterine lining with no hormonal support.The lining starts to shed offfemales monthly menstrual cycle starts again.Low levels of estrogen and progesterone also signal the hypothalamus to start the process over again.
What is the target organs for luteinizing hormone?
the ovaries and testis
