What causes your period to stop hcg or progesterone?

Elevated levels of progesterone is what causes your period to stop, but hcg plays a role in that too, as it is the presence of hcg (from implanted embryo) that tells the corpus luteum to keep pumping out the progesterone after the normal luteal phase length.

If there is no hcg detected the corpus luteum tapers down progesterone production after about 14 days and the endiometrial lining starts to break down when the progesterone no longer is present to support it.

What is the difference between oxytocin and prolactin?

Oxytocin helps in child birth and release of milk during breastfeeding.

Prolactin helps in production of milk in mammary glands.

What are the effects of high levels of prolactin and oxytocin?

Potassium itself does not secrete hormones; rather, it plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including hormone secretion. For instance, potassium levels influence the function of cells in the adrenal glands, which produce hormones like aldosterone. Adequate potassium levels are essential for maintaining cellular membrane potential and facilitating the release of hormones from endocrine cells through processes such as exocytosis. Additionally, potassium ion concentration affects insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, highlighting its importance in hormone regulation.

What is prolactin reflex?

Prolactin is a hormone produced the by the anterior pituitary which is controlled and stimulated bu infant suckling; stimulates growth of mammary glands and process of lactation; increased amounts during pregnancy; causes milk production
