Answer:

LH has different functions in males and females.

In males:

  • LH stimulates testes to synthesise and secrete androgens (testosterone).
  • It activates Leydig cells of the testes to secrete testosterone.

In females:

  • LH stimulates corpus luteum of the ovary to secrete progesterone.
  • It stimulates the ovulation from fully matured Graafian follicles and also maintains the corpus luteum formed from the remnants of Graafian follicles after ovulation.
