LH (in males)

PRL

progesterone

FSH

oxytocin

testosterone

LH (in females)

GnRH

inhibin

estrogen

1. triggers ovulation, stimulates the corpus luteum to secrete progesterone

2. stimulates the release of FSH and LH in both male and female reproductive systems

3. stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands

4. maintains the uterus lining; calms uterus smooth muscle contractions

5. stimulates the development of the sex organs starting at puberty, promotes gamete formation (male - sperm; female - ovum), and in females causes the ovary to secrete estrogen

6. maintains the male reproductive system in adulthood; develops and maintains male secondary sexual characteristics; a steroid that increases muscle mass and aggressive behaviour

7. produced by Sertoli cells in males; inhibits FSH production in a negative feedback loop

8. maintains the female reproductive system; stimulates the development of the endometrium; develops and maintains female secondary sexual characteristics

9. affects smooth muscle contractions of breast alveoli (releases milk) and of the uterus (birth labour)

10. stimulates the interstitial cells to produce and secrete testosterone
