What hormone is stimulated by estrogen and inhibited by estrogen and progesterone?

In: Biology [Edit categories]

Answer:

LH ( luteinising hormone) is stimulated by oestrogen and secreted by the pituitary gland. As oestrogen levels rise it will inhibit the production of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and will encourage the production of LH. As LH rises to a peak in the middle of the menstrual cycle, they will stimulate the release of a mature egg.
