Basic Hormones for Females: LH, FSH, PRL – These three hormones are produced by the pituitary gland and play key roles in regulating the female reproductive system.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH is essential for the proper functioning of the ovaries. In women, it triggers ovulation and helps in the production of estrogen and progesterone, which are critical for the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH works alongside LH to regulate the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles. It stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs (oocytes) and is vital for the overall reproductive process.
Prolactin (PRL): Prolactin is produced by the lactotroph cells in the pituitary gland. It is most well-known for its role in milk production during lactation, but it also has various functions in the immune system, brain, breasts, prostate, uterus, skin, and fat. Prolactin influences reproductive health, metabolism, and can affect mood and behavior.
Together, these hormones work in harmony to regulate female fertility, menstrual cycles, and lactation, as well as impact various other physiological processes.
