Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for triggering ovulation in females. It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to increased levels of estrogen, which signals that an egg is ready to be released from the ovary. In males, LH stimulates testosterone production in the testes. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, not LH. LH has no direct function in milk production or promoting bone and soft tissue growth.
