“Hormone injections with human gonadotrophin hormone may be offered to you if clomiphene has not worked for you.”
“Anterior pituitary function was investigated in five patients using glucagon, thyrotrophin releasing hormone, and gonadotrophin releasing hormone challenge.”
“Increased concentration levels of cortisol have been associated with significant increases in gonadotrophin levels and lowered progestin levels.”
“For example, gonadotropins that are produced by the hypothalamic-pituitary gland stimulate secretion of gonadal steroids.”
“These gonadotropins in turn stimulate synthesis of steroid hormones in target tissues.”
“The estrogen also decreases secretion of gonadotropins by the anterior pituitary, with a consequent decrease in the amount of androgens produced by the ovaries.”
