Human Endocrine Physiology: The Menstrual Cycle
Ovarian Physiology GnRH Pituitary Ovary LH FSH Inhibin Estrogens Progesterone Androgens
FSH Sex steroid Inhibin* + Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) + (pituitary) (hypothalamus) (ovary) LH - (+) *Inhibin exerts negative feedback only at the pituitary and only on FSH
