Question
Chapter 26.4, Problem 18CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect of administration of aromatase inhibitor on the ovarian cycle of women.
Introduction: Menstrual cycle is a series of events in which hormonal changes take place in females’ ovary and uterine wall. The menstrual cycle is formed from the combination of two different cycles, ovarian cycle, and uterine cycle. The uterine cycle is divided into three different phases, which are menstruation, proliferative, and secretory phase. Estrogen is important for the proliferative phase because it induces mitosis in the basal layer as well as it allows the re-growth of blood vessels.

Clomiphene Citrate is a fertility drug that stimulates hypothalamic secretion of Gonadotropin releasing Hormone (GnRH) in females and induces ovulation. Explain how increased GnRH with Clomiphene Citrate treatment would affect follicle maturation and ovulation in women (explain how increased GnRH would affect FSH, LH, Estrogen, and ovulation).
If the ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum regresses, and the endometrium sloughs off to result in the first day of menstrual bleeding. The latter event would be duplicated, even if fertilization occurred, if receptors for which of the following hormones were occupied by an antagonist?
A) Dehydroepiandrosterone
B) Estradiol
C ) Estriol
D) Estrone
E) Progesterone
Women with inadequate secretion of GnRH are often treated for their infertility with drugs that mimic the action of this hormone. Can you suggest a possible reason that such treatment is often associated with multiple births?

- Figure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken.
