- Which of the following statements regarding pituitary hormones is FALSE? Adrenocorticotropic hormone, released by the anterior pituitary, targets the adrenal medulla to increase cardiac output and blood flow. Luteinizing hormone, an anterior pituitary hormone, triggers ovulation of an egg from the ovary and causes the ruptured follicle to produce progesterone and some estrogens.
