Lutropin (LH)
LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is produced in the pituitary gland and controls important reproductive processes. In women, a sudden increase in LH in the middle of the cycle triggers ovulation. In men, LH stimulates the testes to produce testosterone.
Abnormal LH levels can indicate disorders of the ovaries, testes, or hormonal control centers in the brain. The LH test is often used in cases of infertility or cycle and puberty disorders.
