The central positive feedback is switched back to central negative feedback, decreasing the levels of gnrh, lh and fsh. The corpus luteum stimulates the secretion of progesterone and estrogen. Increased estrogen and progesterone production promote endometrial vascularation and thickening. (note: the effects of progesterone dominate at the level of the uterus: onset of menstruation. As the corpus luteum degrades, estrogen and progesterone secretion is inhibited (also note that. Gnrh, lh and fsh levels have also dropped off). This causes the endothelial lining of the endometrium to shed onset of menstruation. The major ovarian estrogen produced by the reproductive female. Most potent of all 3 estrogens (10x more potent than estrone) Arises from the action of aromatase on testosterone (i. e. it is produced from the metabolism of. Is also produced by the reproductive female, but to a lesser extent.
