Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonadotropins, specifically follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), are released from the pituitary gland and stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen. Increasing levels of estrogen then trigger a surge in LH, which triggers ovulation. Testosterone and androgens are male hormones that are also produced in smaller amounts in females and do not directly increase estrogen levels. Antiprogestogens and antigonadotropins work to decrease estrogen levels.
