In 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.
