The peak in luteinizing hormone (LH) is primarily triggered by the surge in estrogen levels during the middle of the menstrual cycle. This LH surge is essential for triggering ovulation in females. Additionally, in males, LH stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
There are many hormones which stimulate activity in the ovaries.The two main ones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH triggers the growth of an ovum, and LH is involved in causing ovulation (the release of the ovum/egg).
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) controls the release of anterior pituitary gonadotropins, such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). GnRH is released from the hypothalamus in a pulsatile manner to regulate the production and secretion of these hormones.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are the two pituitary hormones that control ovulation and the production of female hormones by the ovaries. LH surge triggers ovulation, while FSH is crucial for the development of ovarian follicles and the production of estrogen.
GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone) directly stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating the reproductive system, including the production of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.
FSH and LH are released by the hypothalamus in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation. GnRH is released in pulses into the bloodstream, which then triggers the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland. These hormones play a key role in regulating the reproductive system and stimulating the production of sex hormones in both males and females.
In PCOS patient there is Elevated level of LH where dr cannot use HMG, coz HMG has FSH and LH in 1:1 ratio. AS LH levels r high in PCOS patient no need to give LH. so in those patient Dr's can use on FSH for follicular growth.

FSH and LH are gonadotrophins.They are secreted by pitutory.

FSH and LH
FSH- follicleLH- corpus luteum
FSH, secreted by the Pituitary gland,stimulates the secretion of Oestrogen from the ovaries, Oestrogen in turn stimulates the secretion of LH by the pituitary and inhibits the secretion of FSH, LH then stimulates ovulation (the release of an egg). Without FSH this chain reaction does not happen.
