Accepted Answer

LH (luteinizing hormone) or ICSH (interstitial cell-stimulating hormone) is responsible for stimulating the secretion of testosterone in males. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) stimulates sperm production. Estrogen is a female sex hormone that stimulates the development of female characteristics. Human chorionic gonadotropin is produced during pregnancy and is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum.
