FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the growth and development of follicles in the ovary. The follicles contain the developing eggs, and FSH helps to prepare them for ovulation. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) regulates water balance in the body; prolactin stimulates milk production in the breast; ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol; LH (luteinizing hormone) stimulates ovulation and the release of progesterone from the ovary.
