What are 3 examples of gonadotropins in females?
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Human chorionic gonadotropin
What does FSH do in females?
Causes granulosa cells to use aromatase to change T into E2
What does LH do in females?
Causes ovulation and production of T
What does human chorionic gonadotropin do in females?
Maintains the corpus luteum and stimulates progesterone to maintain uterus for pregnancy for 8 weeks
What are 3 steroids in females?
Testosterone
Estrogen
Progesterone
What does estrogen do in females?
Up-regulates progesterone receptors in uterus, making it more sensitive/responsive
What does progesterone do in females?
Maintain the uterus for pregnancy
What happens if progesterone decreases?
Menses starts
What does progesterone down-regulate in the uterus?
Oxytocin and gap junctions. This helps decrease the risk of pre-term contractions
