Primarily reflects the activity of the ovs, during pregnancy, levels will stedealy rise.
54
Estrogen
Normal levels: 5-100ug/24 h, primary female sex hormone. Produces by developing follicles and placenta. FSH and LH stimulate production of estrogen in ovs.
55
FSH
Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, initiates follicular growth and and stimulates the maturation of the graafian follicle
56
LH?
Essential in both males and females for reproduction, secreted by anterior pituitary gland, increasing estrogen levels stimulate LH production, triggers ovulation and initiates the conversion of rhe residual follicle into a corpus luteum. LH surge typically lasts on the 48 hours
