Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Growing follicles produce estrogen, which acts in a positive feedback loop to further stimulate follicle maturation. This process involves the stimulation of the granulosa cells by FSH to convert androgens (produced by the theca cells under the influence of LH) into estrogen.
