What is "luteinizing hormone"?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in the reproductive system. In females, LH triggers ovulation and promotes the production of progesterone. In males, it stimulates the production of testosterone. LH is essential for the proper functioning of the ovaries and testes, contributing to fertility and reproductive health.
