Solution

The target gland for gonadotropins (LH, FSH) is ovary and testis. In females, LH and FSH stimulate ovary to produce steroids. In males, LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone and FSH stimulates Sertoli cells to produce an androgen-binding protein (ABP), thereby stimulating spermatogenesis.
