Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
The ovaries produce Ova (about 2 million, only 400,000 make it to puberty) Estrogen (female sex hormone) and Progesterone (Steroid hormone that stimulates endometrium development).
LH stimulates ovaries to produce oestrogen and progesteron.LH stands for Leutanizing hormone.
Estrogen
The hormone in males is the testosterone. In females it is estrogen
Ovary produce two hormones. First is estrogen and second is progesterone.
hormone that stimulates milk production and the secretion of progesterone in mammals; hormone which stimulates secretion from the crop gland in birds. prolactin gonadotropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary; in females it stimulates growth of the mammary glands and lactation after parturition [syn: lactogenic hormone, luteotropin].
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signals the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which then stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen. It is the increase in estrogen levels that triggers the start of menarche, the first menstrual period in a female.
Ovaries
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is the hormone that stimulates the growth and secretions of the adrenal cortex. It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to stress or low blood cortisol levels. ACTH signals the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol and other steroid hormones.
The ovaries in the female reproductive system produce estrogen and progesterone. They also store and mature the eggs.
In the female gonads - ovaries. Other hormone they produce is progesterone. These are sex hormones which regulate menstrual cycle, activate mammary glands and regulate the feminine characteristics of body shape.

The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) stimulates the development of eggs and follicles.
