Question
which of the following ovarian hormones is involved in a positive feedback loop with the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary? multiple choice estrogen luteinizing hormone gonadotropin releasing hormone gonadotropin
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is released by the anterior pituitary, not an ovarian hormone. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is from the hypothalamus, and gonadotropin is a general term for pituitary hormones (LH and FSH). Estrogen, an ovarian hormone, triggers a positive feedback loop with the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary as its levels rise, stimulating increased GnRH and LH release to trigger ovulation.
