About Luteinizing Hormones (hLH).

Luteinizing hormones (hLH) are therapeutic glycoprotein gonadotropins that mimic endogenous luteinizing hormone.

While "Luteinizing Hormones (hLH)" is not a standard formal pharmacologic class name under FDA Established Pharmacologic Class designations, it describes pharmaceutical preparations—most notably recombinant human luteinizing hormone (lutropin alfa)—classified pharmacologically under gonadotropins and ovulation stimulants.

Pharmacodynamically, these agents bind to luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptors on ovarian theca cells to stimulate androgen production, which adjacent granulosa cells convert into estradiol, thereby supporting follicle-stimulating hormone-induced follicular development and preparing the reproductive tract for ovulation and implantation.

Therapeutics in this class are indicated in reproductive endocrinology, specifically for female infertility due to severe hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, where they are co-administered with follicle-stimulating hormone to stimulate follicular development.
