Luteinizing hormone information page

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is also called interstitial-cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) and is one of two gonadotropic hormones (hormones which regulate the gonads - sex glands).

It is produced by the pituitary gland and is a glycoprotein, operating in conjunction with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

In females it promotes the transformation of the graafian follicle (a small egg-containing vesicle in the ovary) into the corpus luteum, an endocrine gland that secretes progesterone.

In males it stimulates the development of the interstitial cells of the testes that secrete testosterone, the male sex hormone.
