(1) Follicle-stimulating hormone is a glycoprotein hormone which is secreted from gonadotroph cells of pars distails of anterior pituitary.
(2) Luteinizing hormone is a glycoprotein hormone secreted from the gonadotroph cell of pars distalis of anterior pituitary(adenohypophysis).
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Luteinizing hormone
1. Regulates the growth and development of the ovarian follicle in females. 1. Stimulates maturation of the ovarian follicle and formation of the corpus luteum in females.
2. FSH is also called Follitropin. 2. LH is also called lutropin or interstitial cell-stimulating hormone in male.
3. Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles Leydig cells ,i.e, the Ovarian Hilus Cells(OHC) that is present small in number. 3. Stimulates ovulation.
4. Spermatogenesis is stimulated through the production of androgen binding protein(ABP) by Sertoli Cells. 4. Production of testosterone is stimulated by Leydig cells.
