Estrogen primarily exerts its effects on the pituitary gland by regulating the secretion of various hormones, particularly luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). It enhances the production of these gonadotropins during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, promoting ovulation. Additionally, estrogen can have a negative feedback effect, inhibiting the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which consequently affects pituitary hormone levels. Overall, estrogen plays a crucial role in coordinating reproductive hormone regulation.
