I æggestokkene, under follikelfasen, stimulerer LH thecacellerne til at udskille androgener, der er substrat for granulosacellernes aromatase enzym til produktion af østradiol, understøttende den FSH - inducerede follikeludvikling.
In the ovaries, during the follicular phase, LH stimulates theca cells to secrete androgens, which will be used as the substrate by granulosa cell aromatase enzyme to produce oestradiol, supporting FSH-induced follicular development.
