What is the target organs for luteinizing hormone?

The target organs for luteinizing hormone (LH) are the ovaries and testes. In females, LH stimulates ovulation and the production of progesterone. In males, LH stimulates the production of testosterone in the testes.


What is the target organ of 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.


Is ICSH the male equvilent of LH?

Yes, ICSH (interstitial cell-stimulating hormone) is the male equivalent of LH (luteinizing hormone). ICSH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, while LH also plays a role in the production of testosterone in males.


What are the examples of hormones that target organs involved in reproduction?

Some examples of hormones that target organs involved in reproduction include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones play key roles in regulating the menstrual cycle, sperm production, ovulation, and other reproductive processes.


What causes the peak in luteinizing hormone?

In the beginning of the menstrual cycle, LH and FSH stimulate the ovaries to make estrogen.  During this time, there is a negative feedback loop, so levels of all three hormones are rather low.  Eventually, as the estrogen levels slowly creep up, there comes a time when it switches from negative feedback to positive feedback (not exactly sure what the biochemical basis of this is), and LH and FSH levels skyrocket (estrogen levels go up to, but not as sharply, and there is always more LH than FSH).  The LH surge causes ovulaton.  The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone, which inhibits LH and FSH secretion in a negative feedback manner, and so FSH and LH levels drop sharply.

What is target cell for luteinizing hormone?

The target cells for luteinizing hormone (LH) are the Leydig cells in the testes in males and the granulosa cells in the ovaries in females. LH stimulates these cells to produce androgens (such as testosterone) in males and estrogen in females.

What luteinizing hormone?

the anterior pituitary gland produces LH but its target tissue is the gonads.


What glands luteinizing hormone?

the anterior pituitary gland produces LH but its target tissue is the gonads.


What is the main sex hormone produced by the male's reproductive system?

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.

What gland secretes sperm?

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.


A tropic hormone is any hormone that?

Hormones that target other endocrine glands. Produced by anterior pituitary. Include: FSH, TSH, LH, ACTH.
