Persistent high levels of estrogen and progesterone would cause what to occur?

B) The lack of follicular development
C) Menstruation
D) The secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the anterior pituitary

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Persistent high levels of estrogen and progesterone typically inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which in turn reduces the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. This reduction in FSH and LH levels prevents the initiation of follicular development in the ovaries.
