LH
Pituitary reproductive signal
LH is luteinizing hormone, a chemical messenger produced by the pituitary gland that triggers ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
Home ovulation kits detect the LH surge that precedes egg release: The test showed an LH spike, so we knew it was time.
In medical contexts, LH levels help diagnose fertility issues and hormonal disorders.
