luteinizing hormone
(redirected from LH surge)

    Also found in: Medical, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

luteinizing hormone

Hormone produced by the pituitary gland. In males, it stimulates the testes to produce androgens (male sex hormones). In females, it works together with follicle-stimulating hormone to initiate production of egg cells by the ovary. If fertilization occurs, it plays a part in maintaining the pregnancy by controlling the levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone in the body.
