Answer 1

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis).
Its role is to stimulate follicle growth and estrogen (estradiol) production in females; in males it stimulates Sertoli cells and spermatogenesis (and inhibin production).

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is produced by the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis).
Its role is to trigger ovulation and corpus luteum formation and stimulate progesterone production in females; in males it stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone.
