Progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) are both primary hormones that regulate the female menstrual cycle {fact:3, fact:18}. LH stimulates the synthesis of progesterone {fact:7, fact:10}, and the secretion of progesterone is closely correlated with pulses of LH [1].

claimThe postovulatory decline in luteinizing hormone (LH) may be caused by the loss of the positive feedback effect of estrogen, the increasing inhibitory feedback effect of progesterone, or the depletion of pituitary LH content due to downregulation of GnRH receptors.

claimIn response to luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone, prostaglandins and proteolytic enzymes (such as collagenase and plasmin) increase and digest collagen in the follicular wall, leading to the release of the oocyte-cumulus complex.

claimThe secretion of progesterone and estradiol during the luteal phase is episodic and correlates closely with pulses of Luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion.

claimThe luteinizing hormone (LH) surge stimulates the luteinization of granulosa cells and the synthesis of progesterone, which is responsible for the midcycle follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) surge.

claimThe secretion of progesterone and estradiol during the luteal phase is episodic and correlates closely with pulses of LH secretion.

claimIn the presence of estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the formation of luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors on granulosa cells, allowing for the secretion of small quantities of progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), which may exert a positive feedback on the estrogen-primed pituitary to augment LH release.

referenceA 1978 study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology examined the temporal relationships of estrogen, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone levels to ovulation in women and infrahuman primates.

claimProstaglandins and proteolytic enzymes, such as collagenase and plasmin, increase in response to luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone, leading to the digestion of collagen in the follicular wall and the release of the oocyte-cumulus complex.

referenceSherman B.M., West J.H., and Korenman S.G. published a 1976 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism analyzing LH, FSH, estradiol, and progesterone concentrations during the menstrual cycles of older women.

claimEstradiol levels fall dramatically immediately prior to the luteinizing hormone (LH) peak, potentially due to LH downregulation of its own receptor or direct inhibition of estradiol synthesis by progesterone.

claimAfter ovulation, the amount of progesterone secreted and the length of the luteal phase are dependent on repeated Luteinizing hormone (LH) injections.

claimThe pre-ovulatory fall in estradiol may be caused by luteinizing hormone (LH) downregulation of its own receptor or by direct inhibition of estradiol synthesis by progesterone.

claimThe menstrual cycle is regulated by the hormones GnRH, FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone.

claimProgesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) secreted by granulosa cells may exert a positive feedback on the estrogen-primed pituitary to augment luteinizing hormone (LH) release.

procedureThe menstrual cycle proceeds in five steps: (1) The pituitary gland produces FSH, which signals the ovaries to produce estrogen. (2) When estrogen reaches a specific level for a set duration, the pituitary gland produces LH. (3) LH triggers ovulation, causing the ovary to release an egg into the fallopian tube. (4) The ovary produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. (5) If conception does not occur, hormone levels drop, the menstrual lining stops developing, and the lining is shed as a menstrual period.
