Estrogens and Progesterone in the ovaries
"with a bit of wit"
There are two hormones that are responsible for the regulation of the menstrual cycle. They are called estrogen and progesterone.
The hormone responsible for triggering ovulation in the menstrual cycle is called luteinizing hormone (LH).
Yes. Hormones are what regulates the menstrual cycle.
The hormone responsible for directly regulating the menstrual or uterine cycle is estrogen. Estrogen is produced by the ovaries and plays a key role in the development and maturation of the female reproductive system, as well as the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for stimulating the production of testosterone in males and the release of eggs from the ovaries in females. It also plays a role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle in women.
Estrogen.
Progesterone looks to be more important for menstruation. You need fairly large dose of oestrogen in absence of the progesterone to maintain the menstrual cycle.
Testosterone
The hormone-like chemicals responsible for menstrual cramps are called prostaglandins. These normally don't cause menstrual cramps, they are produced to cause the uterus to contract to push out menstrual flow, but in larger quantities they cause inflammation.
Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for regulating sodium and water balance in the body. It acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
Thyroxine, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, is responsible for increasing metabolism and body temperature regulation.
The hormone that causes ovulation to occur in the menstrual cycle is called luteinizing hormone (LH).
