How does hormones regulate gametogenesis?

Hormones play a crucial role in regulating gametogenesis, the process of forming gametes. In males, testosterone, produced by the testes under the influence of luteinizing hormone (LH), is essential for sperm production. In females, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH, secreted by the pituitary gland, stimulate the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, leading to ovum development. These hormones work together to ensure the proper timing and progression of gamete formation.
