16
Q

Steroid/gonadal hormone prod… chol -> oestradiol…? (remember AG’s flow chart)

A

chol -> preg off to prog OR preg -> testosterone -> oestradiol via aromatase

17
Q

Placenta produces which hormones?

A

progestogens
relaxin
others…

18
Q

Draw clinical summary slide & explain…

A

slide 20…

19
Q

FSH does what exactly? LH does what exactly? (female)

A

FSH stimulates follicle dev. thru to antral stage then LH takes follicles thru to maturity & ovulation then lutenises Granulosa & theca intern cells to become Luteal cells

20
Q

FSH does what exactly? LH does what exactly? (male)

A

FSH -> Sertoli cells -> E2 -> spermatogenesis, LH -> T4 -> libido & effects on spermatogenesis

21
Q

Steriod hormones…

A

E2, Prog., T

22
Q

GnRH is a … hormone?

A

decapeptide
