| lactation hormone | <protein> Pituitary lactogenic hormone (23 kD) Synthesised on endoplasmic reticulum bound ribosomes as preprolactin that has an N terminal signal peptide that is cleaved from the mature form. The conversion of preprolactin to prolactin has been much used as an assay for membrane insertion. (18 Nov 1997) |

| follicle-stimulating hormone | <hormone> An acidic glycoprotein secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. In women, follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the development of ovarian follicles (eggs) and stimulates the release of oestrogens. In men, follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the production of sperm. Abnormal follicle-stimulating hormone levels may be seen in the following conditions: hypopituitarism, Klinefelter syndrome, polycystic ovary disease, Turner's syndrome and ovarian failure. Synonym: follitropin. Acronym: FSH (12 Sep 2002) |
| follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor | A decapeptide of hypothalamic origin capable of accelerating pituitary secretion of follitropin. Synonym: follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor, follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone. Origin: follicle-stimulating hormone + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| follicular hormone | estrone |
| lipid-mobilizing hormone | <protein> Polypeptide hormone (_ form: 9894D, 91 residues, _ form has only residues 1-58 of _) from the pituitary hypophysis, that is of particular interest because it is the precursor of endorphins, which are released by proteolysis. Promotes lipolysis and acts through the adenylyl cyclase system. Part of the ACTH group of hormones. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lipotropic hormone | <protein> Polypeptide hormone (_ form: 9894D, 91 residues, _ form has only residues 1-58 of _) from the pituitary hypophysis, that is of particular interest because it is the precursor of endorphins, which are released by proteolysis. Promotes lipolysis and acts through the adenylyl cyclase system. Part of the ACTH group of hormones. (18 Nov 1997) |
| local hormone | A metabolic product secreted by one set of cells that affects the function of nearby cells; an autacoid; e.g., prostaglandins and neurotransmitters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| luteinising hormone | <endocrinology> A glycoprotein hormone (26 kD) and gonadotrophin. Made up of an _ chain (96 amino acids) identical to other gonadotrophins and a hormone specific _ chain. Acts with follicle-stimulating hormone to stimulate sex hormone release. (18 Nov 1997) |
| luteinising hormone releasing factor | A decapeptide releasing hormone (1182D) that stimulates release of luteinising hormone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| luteotropic hormone | An anterior pituitary hormone whose action maintains the function of the corpus luteum. Synonym: luteotropic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
