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).
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. In males, where LH had also been called interstitial cellâstimulating hormone (ICSH), it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone. It acts synergistically with FSH.
