Prolactin is necessary for breast formation and the production of breast milk. Oxytocin is responsible for uterine contractions and the breast milk "let down." Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the production of sperm and ova. In men, luteinizing hormone stimulates testosterone needed for sperm production, and in women, it stimulates ovulation.
