Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
FSH and LH levels increase in response to ____
A
an increase in progesterone
B
a decrease in GnRH
C
an increase in GnRH
D
ovulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The increase in GnRH triggers a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone and an increase in luteinizing hormone. These changes cause an ovary to release an egg (ovulation).

Detailed explanation-2: -Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released from the hypothalamus and binds to receptors in the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate both the synthesis and release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).

Detailed explanation-3: -LH response to GnRH is a blood test to help determine if your pituitary gland can correctly respond to gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). LH stands for luteinizing hormone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kisspeptin acts at the level of the hypothalamus, which stimulates GnRH secretion. In recent studies, it is also shown that kisspeptin can also bind to Pituitary cells to cause an increase in LH release.
