Question

Which one controls the secretion of estrogen?

• A. hCG
• B. Progesterone
• C. LH
• D. FSH

Answer 1

The correct option is D FSH

A. hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is secreted from placenta and maintains corpus luteum.

B. Progesterone is a steroid female sex hormone which is also known as pregnancy hormone. It maintains the inner lining of uterus which aids in implantation of embryo in the uterus.

C. Luteinizing hormone or LH stimulates growth of ovarian follicles in females. In males this hormone is called interstitial cell stimulating hormone or ICSH and affects the Leydig cells of testes.

D. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females.

Estrogen is a female sex hormone secreted from ovarian follicles which are influenced by FSH.

So, the correct answer is 'FSH'.
