which two hormones are released by the pituitary gland in the male reproductive system?
luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle - stimulating hormone (fsh)
cortisol and adrenaline
insulin and glucagon
testosterone and androgen
estrogen and progesterone

Explanation:

• Luteinizing hormone (LH): In males, LH stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone.
• Follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH): In males, FSH acts on Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules to support sperm production.
• Cortisol and Adrenaline: Cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex and is involved in stress response, metabolism regulation etc. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is produced by the adrenal medulla and is involved in the "fight - or - flight" response.
• Insulin and Glucagon: Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and lowers blood glucose levels. Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and raises blood glucose levels.
• Testosterone and Androgen: Testosterone is the main androgen in males. Androgens are a class of hormones. Testosterone is produced mainly by the Leydig cells of the testes (although the adrenal glands also produce a small amount).
• Estrogen and Progesterone: These are the main female sex hormones. Estrogen is involved in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone is important for maintaining pregnancy.

Answer:

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH)
