In females, an acute rise of LH known as an LH surge, triggers ovulation [4] and development of the corpus luteum. In males, where LH had also been called interstitial cell–stimulating hormone (ICSH), [5] it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone. [4] It acts synergistically with follicle-stimulating hormone .
Ovulation is an important part of the menstrual cycle in female vertebrates where the egg cells are released from the ovaries as part of the ovarian cycle. In female humans ovulation typically occurs near the midpoint in the menstrual cycle and after the follicular phase. Ovulation is stimulated by an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH).
stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin: 44 Luteinizing hormone: LH Peptide: anterior pituitary: gonadotropes: LHR → cAMP: In female: ovulation. In male: stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone. 45 Melanocyte stimulating hormone: MSH or α-MSH Peptide: anterior pituitary/pars intermedia: Melanotroph: melanocortin receptor → cAMP
The corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body"; pl.: corpora lutea) is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, and moderate levels of estradiol, and inhibin A. [1] [2] It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation. [3]

The anterior portion of the pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and the gonads produce estrogen and testosterone. In oviparous organisms (e.g. fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds), the HPG axis is commonly referred to as the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal-liver axis (HPGL-axis) in females ...
Gonadotropins are glycoprotein hormones secreted by gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary of vertebrates. [1] [2] [3] This family includes the mammalian hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), the placental/chorionic gonadotropins, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), [3] as well as at least two forms of fish ...
