LH (LH)

LH hormone is a peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the secretion of testosterone in men, as well as follicle-stimulating hormone in the ovaries in women.

LH hormone promotes the maturation of the egg and sperm, stimulates the release of germ cells from the ovary and improves blood circulation in the genitals. Due to its action, it is also responsible for the cyclic activity of the ovaries, including the production of estrogen and progesterone, which in turn is responsible for the menstrual cycle and the possibility of pregnancy
