In females:

- stimulates ovary to produce steroids
   ovary will produce estradiol during follicular phase and progesterone during luteal phase
- surge at midcycle, with LH, triggers ovulation

In males:

- stimulates Sertoli cells to produce androgen-binding protein (ABP), thereby stimulating spermatogenesis
- FSH also stimulates Sertoli cells to produce inhibin, which provides negative feedback to the anterior pituitary to decrease FSH secretion
