Solution
The correct option is A Pituitary Luteinizing hormone is produced and released by the anterior pituitary gland. Luteinizing hormone has two critical functions: the control of sex steroid hormone production (testosterone in men and estradiol in women) and gametogenesis. The secretion of luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated through a system called as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
