Luteinizing Hormone Target Organ
Luteinizing hormone (Luteinizing Hormone), its target organ (Target Organ) in men, in the testis, can stimulate the secretion of androgens by the stromal cells of the testes to maintain the male secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive function. In women, in the ovary, it stimulates the growth and development of follicles during the follicular stage, and prompts follicle rupture and ovulation, and then converts the follicles after ovulation into the luteal body, secreting progesterone and estrogen to maintain the female menstrual cycle and the internal environment required for pregnancy.
Therefore, it is known that the target organ of luteinizing hormone is important, and it plays a key role in the reproduction and physiological regulation of both sexes. Its normal operation maintains the stability and order of the human reproductive system.
