LHserumCLIA

Product Name: Luteinizing hormone test kit（Magnetic Solid Phase Chemiluminescent Immunoassay） Packaging: 24 T/KIT What is being tested? Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone associated with reproduction. Its stimulation of either ovary or testicles results in the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women or testosterone production in men. This test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone in the blood. LH is produced by the pituitary gland, a small organ located in the center of the head behind the sinus cavity at the base of the brain. Control of LH production is a complex system involving the hypothalamus in the brain, the pituitary gland, and the hormones produced by the ovaries and testicles. In women of childbearing age, several hormones (LH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen and progesterone) rise and fall in a specific sequence during each menstrual cycle. Womens’ menstrual cycles are divided into follicular and luteal phases, with each phase lasting about 14 days. Near the end of the follicular phase, there is a mid-cycle surge of FSH and LH. This surge triggers ovulation, causing the rupture of the egg follicle on the ovary and the release of the egg.
