The problem may be all the other parts of motherhood that have little to do with what's going on inside of your brainâand may not show up in traditional experimental conditions. A study by researchers at the University of British Columbia in 2011 performed a battery of memory tests on pregnant women.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin and sometimes lutrophin) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH ( LH surge ) triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
The pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland of the body, since it regulates many activities of other endocrine glands. Located above the pituitary gland is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus decides which hormones the pituitary should release by sending it either hormonal or electrical messages. In response to hormonal messages from the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland releases the following hormones: 1  GH (growth hormone) â increases size of muscle and bone.  THS (thyroid stimulating hormone) â stimulates the thyroid gland to release T3 and T4 to stimulate metabolism in other cells throughout the body.
