Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Estrogens are produced in response to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH stimulates the development of ovarian follicles, which produce increasing amounts of estrogen as they mature. LH (luteinizing hormone) also plays a role in estrogen production, but FSH is the primary hormone involved in follicular development and estrogen production. Prolactin and relaxin are hormones that primarily affect the reproductive system in pregnancy and lactation, but do not directly stimulate estrogen production.
