It is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. 2. **Function of LH**: LH plays a crucial role in the reproductive system. In males, it is primarily involved in stimulating the production of testosterone. 3. **Target Cells**: In males, LH acts on the Leydig cells, which are located in the testes. 4. **Synthesis Stimulated**: When LH acts on Leydig cells, it stimulates the synthesis of androgens, specifically testosterone. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, LH acts on the **Leydig cells (A)** and stimulates the synthesis of **testosterone (B)**. ### Summary: - A = Leydig cells - B = Testosterone
