Document Summary

Prevents ovulation by suppressing the release of gonadotropins. Progesterone negative feedback decreases the pulse frequency of gonadotropin- releasing hormone released by the hypothalamus, which decreases the release of fsh and greatly decreases the release of lh by the anterior pituitary. Decreased levels of fsh inhibit follicular development, preventing an increase in estradiol levels. Progesterone negative feedback and the lack of estrogen positive feedback on lh release prevent a mid-cycle lh surge. Inhibition of follicular development and helps prevent ovulation. Describe how the secretion of hormones from the testes and the ovary is controlled: Gnrh reaching the anterior pituitary gland via the hypothalamo- pituitary portal vessels triggers the release of both lh and fsh from the same cell type. Fsh acts primarily on the sertoli cells to stimulate the secretion of paracrine agents required for spermatogenesis. While, lh acts primarily on the leydig cells to stimulate testosterone secretion. When testosterone levels rise above normal, gnrh and lh secretion are inhibited.
