In a female, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) target the ovaries.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are both produced by the pars distalis or the anterior pituitary region of the the pituitary gland.
FSH and LH stimulate gonadal activity and therefore are referred to as gonadotrophins.
In a female, FSH stimulates growth and development of the ovarian follicles, whereas, LH induces ovulation of fully mature follicles, i.e. graafian follicles, and maintains the corpus luteum, formed from the remnants of the graafian follicles after ovulation.
The secretion of FSH and LH increases gradually during the follicular phase of a menstrual cycle and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of estrogens by the growing follicles.
