Why does Pluset contain LH?
LH, or luteinizing hormone, acts synergistically with FSH to facilitate ovarian follicular growth and maturation. Characteristic of early follicular phase growth, ovarian follicles less than 9 mm in diameter are FSH-dependent, evidenced by the presence of FSH receptors in the granulosa cells, but at this stage, there is a minimal presence of LH receptors. When the growing follicles reach 9 mm in diameter, the FSH receptor disappears from the granulosa cells while the LH receptor is more abundant, essentially causing a switch in the follicle’s dependence from FSH to LH. Thus, the LH hormone is necessary for follicular growth in the final stages.
