HGH (human growth hormone) primarily works in the liver and muscle tissues to promote growth and metabolism. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) act on the ovaries and testes to regulate reproductive processes. Progesterone functions mainly in the uterus to prepare it for potential pregnancy, while testosterone affects various tissues, including muscle and bone, to develop male characteristics. GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) operates in the hypothalamus, stimulating the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland.

What system controls the ovarian and menstrual cycle?
The hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries work together to control the ovarian and menstrual cycle. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones then regulate the development and release of eggs from the ovaries, as well as the production of estrogen and progesterone.

Why does insulin work much more quickly than estrogen?
The basic difference is that Insulin is a peptide hormone and Estrogen is a steroid hormone. The only way Estrogen does its work is by activating DNA transcription of enzymes and this takes time because you first have to transcribe the mRNA of the enzyme then this mRNA has to be processed and then it has to be translated into the protein structure of the enzyme. On the other hand some of the functions of insulin just involve changing the activity level of already existing enzymes and this is a quicker process.
How does the birth control pill work?
Birth control pills work by giving your body additional estrogen and progesterone, at different amounts during the month. This increase in estrogen and progesterone works via a negative feedback loop; in other words, it tells your body that there is a lot of estrogen and progesterone and therefore it needs to shut off the pathways that produce that estrogen and progesterone. To do this, the body lowers the amount of another hormone, FSH. This hormone, also known as follicle-stimulating hormone, not only affects the release of estrogen and progesterone, but also is necessary for follicle development. Birth control pills decrease the amount of FSH, making it impossible for your follicles to develop. Consequently, these follicles can never mature and release the egg.
Can estrogen imbalance cause medications for hypothyroid medications not to work correctly?
