What regulates estrogen and progesterone?
LH ( luteinising hormone) is stimulated by oestrogen and secreted by the pituitary gland. As oestrogen levels rise it will inhibit the production of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and will encourage the production of LH. As LH rises to a peak in the middle of the menstrual cycle, they will stimulate the release of a mature egg.
What does the LH hormone do?
LH(Leutenizing Hormone) hormone induces the process of spermatogenesis.
What is testosterone produce by?
The pituitary secretes luteinizing hormone (LH) in short bursts to signal the production and release of testosterone.
What causes the peak in luteinizing hormone?
In the beginning of the menstrual cycle, LH and FSH stimulate the ovaries to make estrogen. During this time, there is a negative feedback loop, so levels of all three hormones are rather low. Eventually, as the estrogen levels slowly creep up, there comes a time when it switches from negative feedback to positive feedback (not exactly sure what the biochemical basis of this is), and LH and FSH levels skyrocket (estrogen levels go up to, but not as sharply, and there is always more LH than FSH). The LH surge causes ovulaton. The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone, which inhibits LH and FSH secretion in a negative feedback manner, and so FSH and LH levels drop sharply.
What allows Follicle-stimulating hormone and Luteinizing hormone levels to increase again?
Once GnRH levels increase, FSH and LH levels will increase. During pregnancy, GnRH is not required which is responsible for the lack or absence of FSH and LH production. Prolactin can also decrease GnRH production which again will decrease FSH and LH. Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels can also be affected by another hormone called melatonin, which is regulated by the hypothalamus and released by the pineal gland in repsonse to the amount of broad-spectrum light that enters the eyes.
How do blood tests diagnose premature menopause?
Blood tests measure the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The levels of these hormones will be higher if menopause has occurred.
What is the following letter abbreviation for the hormone that stimulates ovulation?
