The ovarian follicle is the primary site of estrogen production during the follicular phase, as evidenced by the follicle's role in secreting estrogen to stimulate endometrial regeneration [1], [2] and vasoconstriction [3], [4]. Additionally, the growth of ovarian follicles is regulated by estrogen levels [5], and the follicle continues to secrete estrogen after transforming into the corpus luteum [6], [7].

claimAt the start of the menstrual cycle, low levels of estrogen and progesterone signal the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles.
claimThe follicular phase is driven by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which promotes the growth of ovarian follicles, which in turn release increasing amounts of estrogen.
