According to these studies, a protein intake around 30% of calories may be optimal for weight loss. This amounts to 150 grams per day for someone on a 2000 calorie diet. You can calculate it by multiplying your calorie intake by 0.075.
When we look at hormones that have other endocrine glands as their target we call them tropic hormones. The four tropic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland are: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
LH is a hormone thatâs produced in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, and itâs roughly the size of a pea. If youâre a woman, LH is an important part of your menstrual cycle.
