- Discuss the critical effects of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy.arrow_forwardUnlike male gonadotropins, female gonadotropins are able to promote the development of a single optimal dominant follicle during most cycles with the release of a single gamete from an LH surge and then optimization of the uterine environment for implantation. To understand pathologies in this complex system, one must understand the ideal steps within the normal menstrual cycle. Which of the following statements best describes the role of FSH in menstruation? O FSH induces granulosa cell LH receptors within the dominant follicle. O FSH stimulates follicular growth only in the early preantral stage. ( ) FSH stimulates granulosa cell androgen production. O FSH increases its own receptor numbers on theca cells. O FSH induces theca cell aromatase.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements accurately describes the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome? Question 28 options: a) Excessive androgens that affect follicular decline by suppressing apoptosis, enabling follicles, which normally disintegrate to survive b) A decrease in leptin levels that reduces the hypothalamic pulsatility of GnRH, which reduces the number of follicles that mature c) A disorder of the anterior pituitary that increases the release of FSH, which reduces the release of LH d) Testosterone that stimulates androgen secretion by the ovarian stroma and reduces SHBG indirectlyarrow_forward
