[Pituitary Hormones] Luteinising hormone & Follicle-stimulating hormone [Abbreviation] LH and FSH [Role] 
Luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone are both regulating functions of the gonads (ovary and testis). They are not necessary for life but are essential for reproduction. Together they stimulate the reproductive organs and initiate puberty which enables children to develop into sexually mature adults. In women these hormones control ovulation and are essential for a normal menstrual cycle and for fertility. In men, these hormones stimulate the testes to produce sperm.
