Q

Why do anabolic steroids INC infertility in male?

A

the steroid used has a similar structure to testosterone and thus mimics the effects of testosterone. Therefore it looks like you are producing too much testosterone triggering the negative feedback causing a DEC in libido

Q

There was a new method to male birth control describe it - 5

A

the act of taking anabolic steroid. This DEC fertility b/c it mimics testosterone making the sys think that there is too much testosterone present. This in turn triggers a negative feedback towards the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland to DEC secretion of GnRH and LH + FSH resulting in less production of actual testosterone and a lower fertility

Q

Put the following step in order wrt the cycling of endocrine hormones characterizes female reproductive physiology
1 - Uterus gets ready for pregnancy, then is stripped of lining if implantation doesn’t occur
2 - Ovaries produce eggs
3 - Ant. pituitary hormones act on the ovaries
4 - Ovaries produce hormones that act on the
uterus

A

3 -> 2 -> 4 -> 1

16
Q

T of F - the Ovarian cycle occurs first followed by the menstrual cycle

A

F - they occur at the same time

17
Q

on this chart indicate where the ovarian cycles occur and where the mensural cycle occurs

A
18
Q

what are the 3 phases during the ovarian cycle (correct order) - 3

A
  1. follicular phase
  2. ovulation
  3. luteal phase
19
Q

What are the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle? (correct order) - 3

A
  1. menstruation
  2. proliferative phase
  3. secretory phase
  4. menstruation
20
Q

What is the endometrial?

A

the spiral arteries responsible for menstruation in females

21
Q

Describe the 3 things that occur in stage 0 of the ovarian/menstruation cycle

A
  1. INC of gonadotropins (FSH + LH)
  2. maturation of ovarian follicles due to FSH
  3. menstrual bleeding begins
22
Q

Describe the 2 things that occur in stage 1 (follicular phase) of the ovarian/menstruation cycle
a) ovaries
b) uterus

A
  1. ovaries = DEC of FSH + INC of LH
  2. uterus = INC estrogen which stims endometrial growth
23
Q

during the follicular phase, estrogen inhibits GnRH, FSH, and LH. Why?

A

this prevents the maturation of another follicle w/in the same cycle (cycle in which an follicle is already being matured)

24
Q

Describe the 2 things that occur in stage 2 (ovulation phase) of the ovarian/menstruation cycle

A
  1. Estrogen stimulates an LH surge which causes the mature follicle to dissolve resulting in its matrix rupturing. This rupture releases the mature follicle (oocyte/egg)
  2. the matrix then forms the corpus lutem
25
Q

Describe the 3 things that occur in stage 3 (early to mid luteal phase) of the ovarian/menstruation cycle

A
  1. the formed corpus lutem produces progesterone + estrogen which suppresses the gonadotropins (FSH + LH)
  2. ovaries = at the beginning the lutem develops then it regresses later
  3. uterus = The endometrium wall thickens due to the progesterone in anticipation of pregnancy.
26
Q

Describe the 3 things that occur in stage 4 (late luteal phase) of the ovarian/menstruation cycle

A
  1. DEC of estrogen + progesterone -> INC of gondatropins (FSH + LH)
  2. ovaries = corpus luteum lives for 12 days than undergoes apoptosis
  3. Due to the DEC of progesterone (lack of fertilization) the endometrium vasculature contracts and dies -> menstruation
27
Q

Describe the following stages in the ovarian cycle. include changes in gonadotropin secretion
a) follicular phase - 3
b) ovulation phase - 3
c) luteal phase - 3

A

a) development of the follicle until maturation
- FSH INC at the beginning then DEC as the follicle matures
- INC of LH
b) release of the mature follicle (oocyte/egg) through the fallopian tubes
- a surge of LH then sudden DEC of LH
- small INC then DEC of FSH
c) formation and development of the corpus luteum followed by its regression 12 days later if fertilization doesn’t occur
- FSH = stable with slight INC after regression
- LH = stable w/ slight DEC after regression

28
Q

Describe the following stages in the menstrual cycle. include changes in ovarian hormone secretion (estrogen/progesterone)
a) initial menstruation - 3
b) proliferative phase - 3
c) secretory phase - 3
d) final menstruation - 3

A

a) menstrual bleeding
- estrogen > progesterone but both are stable
b) formation of the endometrium
- INC of estrogen
- stable progesterone (low level)
c) strengthening of the endometrium walls (anticipation of pregnancy)
- Estrogen = DEC initially followed by an INC near the end
- INC of progesterone followed by a DEC near the end (assuming no fertilization occurs)
c) endometrium vasculature contracts and dies -> menstruation
- DEC of both but estrogen stables at a higher level than progesterone

29

a) LH
b) FSH
c) progesterone
d) estrogen

33
Q

Why do women who want to know when they ovulate check their temp?

A

Its b/c after the LH peak (ovulation) progesterone INC in anticipation of pregnancy causing the body temp to INC

34
Q

Why do women get PMS?

A

there is a link b/w the HPG hormones and NTX that act on the brain resulting in a change of mood

35
Q

What are contraceptive pills?

A

they are synthetic estrogen and progesterone that causes an inhibitor of gonadotropins due to their negative feedback which in turn stimulates a false luteal phase (makes the body think ovulation has already occurred)

36
Q

What happens at menopause?

A

due to lack of folliclar depletion (no more eggs) estrogen stops secreting. Thus the body tries to maintain its sestrogent levels by INC adipose tissue

37
Q

INC order to DEC the symptoms of menopause there were two studies of hormone replacement therapy. Describe the following including why they were stopped
a) estrogen-progesterone study
b) estrogen-only study

A

a) provided estrogen and progesterone however it INC risk for breast cancer and heart problems
b) provided just estrogen (thought progesterone was the problem) however it INC risk of stroke
