	Luteinizing hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
		The luteinizing hormone beta-subunit gene is localized in the LHB/CGB gene cluster on chromosome 19q13.32.
		It is regulated by the gonadotropin releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.

	Menstrual Cycle: Biology of the Female Reproductive System: Merck Manual Home Edition
		The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones: luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, which are produced by the pituitary gland, and estrogen and progesterone, which are produced by the ovaries.
		A menstrual cycle is regulated by the complex interaction of hormones: luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, which are produced by the pituitary gland, and the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are produced by the ovaries.
		Luteinizing hormone stimulates the dominant follicle to bulge from the surface of the ovary and finally rupture, releasing the egg.

	Luteinizing hormone test Encyclopedia of Medicine - Find Articles
		The luteinizing hormone (LH) test is a test of the blood or urine to measure the level of luteinizing hormone (lutropin).
		Lutenizing hormone is a hormone released by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain.
		Another term for luteinizing hormone, this hormone stimulates the development and release of the egg from the ovary.

	eMedicine - Luteinizing Hormone Deficiency : Article by Louis A Dainty, MD
		The incidence of luteinizing hormone deficiency is higher (10-15%) in subsets of patients who are infertile and have had habitual abortions.
		This may be the common endpoint of abnormal patterns of LH secretion, lower levels of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) at the time of the ovulatory surge, low levels of FSH in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, or, finally, decreased responsiveness of the endometrium to progesterone.
		Luteinizing hormone deficiency is not an emergency requiring hospitalization or transfer.

	Luteinizing and Follicle Stimulating Hormones
		Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are called gonadotropins because stimulate the gonads - in males, the testes, and in females, the ovaries.
		As describef for thyroid-simulating hormone, LH and FSH are large glycoproteins composed of alpha and beta subunits.
		The alpha subunit is identical in all three of these anterior pituitary hormones, while the beta subunit is unique and endows each hormone with the ability to bind its own receptor.

	Other Pituitary Gland Disorders / Cushing's Help and Support
		For example, if only luteinizing hormone is missing (isolated luteinizing hormone deficiency), the testes develop and produce sperm, because these functions are controlled by follicle-stimulating hormone, but the testes do not produce enough testosterone.
		Testosterone is the hormone that stimulates the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as deepening of the voice, growth of facial hair, and maturation of the penis.
		Measuring the level of growth hormone is not always useful or indicative of a deficiency because the body produces the hormone in short bursts that cause its level to rise and fall quickly.

	Luteinizing Hormone
		A luteinizing hormone test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in a sample of blood or urine.
		Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels rise and fall together during the monthly menstrual cycle.
		LH levels depend on a person's age and stage of sexual development, and, in a woman, on the phase of her menstrual cycle.

	Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone antagonist - Patent 4992421 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The present invention relates to novel luteinizing hormone releasing hormone antagonists ##STR1## The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to the use of such compounds for suppressing levels of sex hormones in male or female mammals.
		Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone, known as LHRH or GnRH, is a decapeptide that is produced in the hypothalamus and binds to a receptor on the pituitary gland causing the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the pituitary.
		Paradoxically, chronic doses of these agonists suppress the levels of LH and steroid hormones resulting in an inhibition of the pituitary-gonadal axis characterized by a decrease of the levels of sex steroids and the atrophy of accessory sex organs.

		Deficiencies of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone can also occur in Kallmann's syndrome, in which people may also have a cleft lip or palate (see Birth Defects: Facial Defects), are color-blind, and are unable to sense smells.
		Because the levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone fluctuate with the menstrual cycle, their measurement in women may be difficult to interpret.
		For example, people deficient in thyroid-stimulating hormone are given thyroid hormone, those deficient in corticotropin are given adrenocortical hormones such as hydrocortisone, and those deficient in luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone are given estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone.
