Explanation: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a gonadotropic hormone secreted by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. Luteinizing hormone (LH) performs series of functions when secreted.

However, low rate of luteinizing hormone (LH) establish signs of primary ovarian failure (a feedback mechanism) which translates that the ovaries have problem.
