Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a crucial hormone produced by the pituitary gland, playing a significant role in regulating the reproductive systems of both females and males.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a crucial hormone in male reproductive health. Produced by the pituitary gland, LH plays a vital role in stimulating testosterone production in the testicles.
Key Roles of LH in Men:
- Testosterone Production: LH stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, the primary male sex hormone.
- Sperm Production: Testosterone, produced under the influence of LH, is essential for sperm production and maturation.
- Sexual Development: LH contributes to the development of male secondary sex characteristics, such as facial hair, muscle mass, and deep voice.
Normal LH Levels:
