Ovulation is suppressed by progesterone via:
- A
Only by inhibition of Luteinizing Hormone.
- B
Inhibition of FSH & stimulation of LH.
- C
Inhibition of LH & stimulation of FSH.
- D
Inhibition of both FSH & LH.
Luteinizing Hormone is the one which stimulates the ovulation of the follicle. The surge in the amount of LH, before the ovulation, is prevented which in turn prevents ovulation and the release of the egg.
Ovulation is stimulated by Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Progesterone suppresses ovulation by inhibiting the secretion of LH.
Ovulation can only be suppressed by inhibition of LH, thus option B can't be correct.
Ovulation is the direct result of an increased level of LH thus inhibition of only LH can suppress ovulation.
Ovulation is the direct result of an increased level of LH thus inhibition of only LH can suppress ovulation.
