Q

Discuss how estrogen is synthesized in the ovaries

A

GnRH leads to LH and FSH secretion. LH stimulates desmolase in theca cells to convert cholesterol to androsteinedione; Androstienedione goes from theca cell to granulosa cell where FSH stimulates aromatase to convert androsteinedione to estrogen

Q

Discuss the relationship between estrogen and prolactin in pregnancy

A

Estrogen is high in pregnancy (most from placental estriol), this leads to secretion of prolactin; however, the action at the breast is blocked. So the idea is to get prolactin out but to wait unti after pregnancy is done to really get milk production going!
