Luteinizing Hormone Modulation

Meaning

Luteinizing Hormone Modulation is the therapeutic strategy of precisely adjusting the production, secretion, or biological action of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which is a crucial gonadotropin released by the anterior pituitary gland. In male physiology, LH stimulates the Leydig cells to produce endogenous testosterone; in female physiology, it is the primary trigger for ovulation and subsequent corpus luteum formation. Modulation is clinically utilized to optimize endogenous sex hormone production or to precisely regulate the female reproductive cycle.
