Luteal regression may be inhibited by
A)inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins.
B)stimulating the synthesis of progesterone.
C)stimulating the synthesis of LH.
D)inhibiting the synthesis of FSH.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Luteal regression is stimulated by prostaglandins. Therefore, inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins will inhibit luteal regression. The other choices are not likely to inhibit luteal regression. Stimulating the synthesis of progesterone and LH would actually encourage luteal maintenance, while inhibiting the synthesis of FSH would only have an effect on follicular development, not luteal regression.
