Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which hormone stimulates follicle growth?
A
FSH
B
LH
C
Oestrogen
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone responsible for starting follicle (egg) development and causing the level of estrogen, the primary female hormone, to rise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is critical for ovarian folliculogenesis and female fertility. FSH plays a key role in antral follicle development and, in combination with luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulates preovulatory follicular growth (reviewed in McGee & Hsueh 2000, Hillier 2001).

Detailed explanation-3: -Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It is an important hormone for normal functioning of the reproductive system in men and women. In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs by the ovaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -FSH stimulates granulosa cells in the ovarian follicles to synthesize aromatase, which converts androgens produced by the thecal cells to estradiol.

Detailed explanation-5: -Luteinizing hormone (LH) in synergy with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates normal follicular growth and ovulation.
