About FSH
Binds FSH receptors on Sertoli cells in testes to support sperm maturation and inhibin B production. In women, binds granulosa cell FSH receptors to drive follicular growth and estradiol production.
About LH
Binds LH receptors on testicular Leydig cells, stimulating the cholesterol → testosterone biosynthetic pathway. In women, the LH surge triggers ovulation and supports luteal phase progesterone production.
