Describe hormonal balance in menstrual cycle
Describe the nutrient flow ( vessels and organs)
Where in GI and what enzymes metabolize each of the macronutrients

What goes wrong in PCOS hormone synthesis and how it can be intervened

How hormones change during pregancy
High hCG levels produced by placental tissue early in pregnancy maintain estrogen and
progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum.
• hCG prevents menstruation and promotes maintenance of the uterine lining.
• At around 4 months placenta takes over secreting estrogen and progesterone, hCG levels
drop, and the corpus luteum subsequently ceases secreting these hormones
