which two hormones are released by the pituitary gland in the male reproductive system?
luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle - stimulating hormone (fsh)
estrogen and progesterone
insulin and glucagon
cortisol and adrenaline
testosterone and androgen
Brief Explanations
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) are indeed released by the pituitary gland in the male reproductive system. LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone, and FSH is involved in sperm production.
- Estrogen and progesterone are mainly female sex hormones.
- Insulin and glucagon are related to blood - glucose regulation (pancreas).
- Cortisol and adrenaline are stress - related hormones (adrenal gland).
- Testosterone is mainly produced by Leydig cells in the testes, and androgen is a broader category (testes are the main source in males, not the pituitary for these two as a pair in the context of the question).
