What is the relationship between FSH and estrogen production in the ovaries and how do fluctuations in one hormone affect the other in the reproductive cycle?
FSH stimulates the ovaries to produce estrogen, which in turn regulates FSH levels through feedback inhibition, maintaining balance in the reproductive cycle.
FSH stimulates ovarian follicles, prompting them to produce estrogen. As estrogen levels rise, they signal the pituitary to reduce FSH production, regulating the cycle.
