  2. Luteinizing hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luteinizing_hormone

    Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as luteinising hormone, [1] lutropin and sometimes lutrophin [2]) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. The production of LH is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. [ 3 ]

  3. Leydig cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leydig_cell

    Leydig cells release a class of hormones called androgens (19-carbon steroids). [8] They secrete testosterone, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), when stimulated by the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is released from the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin releasing hormone which in turn is released by the hypothalamus.

    Your hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers your pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH). LH causes Leydig cells in your testicles to produce ...

  6. Androgen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen

    The mesoderm-derived epithelial cells of the sex cords in developing testes become the Sertoli cells, which will function to support sperm cell formation. A minor population of nonepithelial cells appear between the tubules by week 8 of human fetal development. These are Leydig cells. Soon after they differentiate, Leydig cells begin to produce ...

  7. Gonadotropin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin

    Gonadotropins are glycoprotein hormones secreted by gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary of vertebrates. [1] [2] [3] This family includes the mammalian hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), the placental/chorionic gonadotropins, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), [3] as well as at least two forms of fish ...

    FSH stimulates aromatase activity in granulosa cells, converting androgens to estrogen. As FSH levels drop, the surrounding follicles develop a more androgen-rich environment. Additionally, the granulosa cells of the dominant follicle release peptides that may inhibit the growth of nearby follicles through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms.

  9. Endocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland

    The alpha and beta cells are the endocrine cells in the pancreatic islets that release insulin and glucagon and smaller amounts of other hormones into the blood. Insulin and glucagon influence blood sugar levels. Glucagon is released when the blood glucose level is low and stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood. Insulin ...
