What Role Do Hormones Play in Follicle Development?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating the development and maturation of ovarian follicles. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland secrete gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland. FSH promotes the growth of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum from the ruptured follicle.
