Luteinizing hormone

Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin and


Chorionic gonadotropin
sometimes lutrophin[1]) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic
alpha
cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of
LH ("LH surge") triggers ovulation[2] and development of the Identifiers
corpus luteum. In males, where LH had also been called Symbol CGA
interstitial cell–stimulating hormone (ICSH),[3] it stimulates Alt. HCG, GPHa, GPHA1
Leydig cell production of testosterone.[2] It acts synergistically symbols
with FSH.

hours). The biological half-life of LH is 23 hours subcutaneous[5]
or terminal half life of 10-12 hours.[6]

Genes
The gene for the alpha subunit is located on chromosome 6q12.21.

The luteinizing hormone beta subunit gene is localized in the LHB/CGB gene cluster on chromosome
19q13.32. In contrast to the alpha gene activity, beta LH subunit gene activity is restricted to the pituitary
gonadotropic cells. It is regulated by the gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.
Inhibin, activin, and sex hormones do not affect genetic activity for the beta subunit production of LH.

Function
In females: ovulation, maintaining of corpus luteum and secretion of progesterone.

In males: testosterone secretion.

Effects in females
LH supports theca cells in the ovaries that provide androgens and hormonal precursors for estradiol
production. At the time of menstruation, FSH initiates follicular growth, specifically affecting granulosa
cells.[7] With the rise in estrogens, LH receptors are also expressed on the maturing follicle, which causes
it to produce more estradiol. Eventually, when the follicle has fully matured, a spike in 17α-
hydroxyprogesterone production by the follicle inhibits the production of estrogens, leading to a decrease
in estrogen-mediated negative feedback of GnRH in the hypothalamus, which then stimulates the release
of LH from the anterior pituitary.[8] However another theory of the LH peak is a positive feedback
mechanism from estradiol. The levels keep rising through the follicular phase and when they reach an
unknown threshold, this results in the peak of the LH.[9] This effect is opposite from the usual negative
feedback mechanism presented at lower levels. In other words, the mechanism(s) are not yet clear. The
increase in LH production only lasts for 24 to 48 hours. This "LH surge" triggers ovulation, thereby not
only releasing the egg from the follicle, but also initiating the conversion of the residual follicle into a
corpus luteum that, in turn, produces progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a possible
implantation. LH is necessary to maintain luteal function for the second two weeks of the menstrual
cycle. If pregnancy occurs, LH levels will decrease, and luteal function will instead be maintained by the
action of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone very similar to LH but secreted from the new
placenta.

Effects of LH on the body

Gonadal steroids (estrogens and androgens) generally have negative feedback effects on GnRH-1 release
at the level of the hypothalamus and at the gonadotropes, reducing their sensitivity to GnRH. Positive
feedback by estrogens also occurs in the gonadal axis of female mammals and is responsible for the
midcycle surge of LH that stimulates ovulation. Although estrogens inhibit kisspeptin (Kp) release from
kiss1 neurons in the ARC, estrogens stimulate Kp release from the Kp neurons in the AVPV. As
estrogens' levels gradually increase the positive effect predominates, leading to the LH surge. GABA-
secreting neurons that innervate GnRH-1 neurons also can stimulate GnRH-1 release. These GABA
neurons also possess ERs and may be responsible for the GnRH-1 surge. Part of the inhibitory action of
endorphins on GnRH-1 release is through inhibition of these GABA neurons. Rupture of the ovarian
follicle at ovulation causes a drastic reduction in estrogen synthesis and a marked increase in secretion of
progesterone by the corpus luteum in the ovary, reinstating a predominantly negative feedback on
hypothalamic secretion of GnRH-1.[10]

Effects in males
LH acts upon the Leydig cells of the testis and is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone
(GnRH).[11] The Leydig cells produce testosterone (T) under the control of LH, which regulates the
expression of the enzyme 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that is used to convert androstenedione, the
hormone produced by the testes, to testosterone. The onset of puberty is controlled by two major
hormones: FSH initiates spermatogenesis and LH signals the release of testosterone. an androgen that
exerts both endocrine activity and intratesticular activity on spermatogenesis.
LH is released from the pituitary gland, and is controlled by pulses of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
When T levels are low, it stimulating the pituitary gland to release LH.[11] As the levels of T increase, it
will act on the pituitary through a negative feedback loop and inhibit the release of GnRH and LH
consequently. Androgens (T, DHT) inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) in pineal, leading to increased
melatonin and reduced LH and FSH by melatonin-induced increase of Gonadotropin-Inhibitory Hormone
(GnIH)[12] synthesis and secretion. T can also be aromatized into estradiol (E2) to inhibit LH. E2
decreases pulse amplitude and responsiveness to GnRH from the hypothalamus onto the pituitary.[13]

Changes in LH and testosterone (T) blood levels and pulse secretions are induced by changes in sexual
arousal in human males.[14]

Normal levels
LH levels are normally low
during childhood and, in
women, high after
menopause. As LH is
secreted as pulses, it is
necessary to follow its
concentration over a
sufficient period of time to
get proper information about
its blood level.

For human urinary LH, one

corresponding to approximately 0.04656µg of LH protein for a single IU, but older standard versions are
still widely in use.[17][18]

Predicting ovulation
The detection of a surge in release of luteinizing hormone
indicates impending ovulation. LH can be detected by urinary
ovulation predictor kits (OPK, also LH-kit) that are performed,
typically daily, around the time ovulation may be expected.[20] A
conversion from a negative to a positive reading would suggest
that ovulation is about to occur within 24–48 hours, giving
women two days to engage in sexual intercourse or artificial
insemination with the intention of conceiving.[21]

The recommended testing frequency differs between


manufacturers. For example, the Clearblue test is taken daily, and
an increased frequency does not decrease the risk of missing an
LH surge.[22] On the other hand, the Chinese company Nantong
Egens Biotechnology recommends using their test twice per
day.[23] If testing once per day, no significant difference has been
found between testing LH in the morning versus in the evening,
in relation to conception rates,[24] and recommendations of what
time in the day to take the test varies between manufacturers and
Chance of fertilization by menstrual
healthcare workers.[25] Tests may be read manually using a color-
cycle day relative to ovulation.[19]
change paper strip, or digitally with the assistance of reading
electronics.

Tests for luteinizing hormone may be combined with testing for estradiol in tests such as the Clearblue
fertility monitor.

The sensitivity of LH tests are measured in milli international unit, with tests commonly available in the
range 10–40 m.i.u. (the lower the number, the higher the sensitivity).

As sperm can stay viable in the woman for several days, LH tests are not recommended for contraceptive
practices, as the LH surge typically occurs after the beginning of the fertile window.

Disease states

Excess
In children with precocious puberty of pituitary or central origin, LH and FSH levels may be in the
reproductive range instead of the low levels typical for their age.

During the reproductive years, relatively elevated LH is frequently seen in patients with polycystic ovary
syndrome; however, it would be unusual for them to have LH levels outside of the normal reproductive
range.
Persistently high LH levels are indicative of situations where the normal restricting feedback from the
gonad is absent, leading to a pituitary production of both LH and FSH. While this is typical in
menopause, it is abnormal in the reproductive years. There it may be a sign of:

1. Premature menopause
2. Gonadal dysgenesis, Turner syndrome
3. Castration
4. Swyer syndrome
5. Polycystic ovary syndrome
6. Certain forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia
7. Testicular failure
8. Pregnancy - BetaHCG can mimic LH so tests may show elevated LH
Note: A medical drug for inhibiting luteinizing hormone secretion is Butinazocine.[26]

Deficiency
Diminished secretion of LH can result in failure of gonadal function (hypogonadism). This condition is
typically manifest in males as failure in production of normal numbers of sperm. In females, amenorrhea
is commonly observed. Conditions with very low LH secretions include:

1. Pasqualini syndrome[27][28][29]
2. Kallmann syndrome
3. Hypothalamic suppression
4. Hypopituitarism
5. Eating disorder
6. Female athlete triad
7. Hyperprolactinemia
8. Hypogonadism
9. Gonadal suppression therapy
1. GnRH antagonist
2. GnRH agonist (inducing an initial stimulation (flare up) followed by permanent blockage
of the GnRH pituitary receptor)

As a medication
LH is available mixed with FSH in the form of menotropin, and other forms of urinary gonadotropins.
More purified forms of urinary gonadotropins may reduce the LH portion in relation to FSH.
Recombinant LH is available as lutropin alfa (Luveris).[30] All these medications have to be given
parenterally. They are commonly used in infertility therapy to stimulate follicular development, the
notable one being in IVF therapy.

Often, HCG medication is used as an LH substitute because it activates the same receptor. Medically
used hCG is derived from urine of pregnant women, is less costly, and has a longer half-life than LH.
