What Hormones are Involved in Tertiary Follicle Development?
The development of tertiary follicles is regulated by several hormones:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Stimulates the growth and proliferation of granulosa cells and the production of estrogen. Luteinizing hormone (LH): Works in synergy with FSH to promote follicle maturation and triggers ovulation. Estrogen: Produced by granulosa cells, estrogen is crucial for the proliferation of granulosa cells and the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
