Question
Answer
Primary estrogen in PG   Estriol (E3); produced in placenta  
🗑
Before menopause, primary circulating estrogen =   Estradiol (E2); serum estradiol levels 30-200 pg/mL  
🗑
After menopause, primary circulating estrogen =   Estrone (E1); secreted by ovary; mean serum estradiol levels < 15 ng/mL  
🗑
Induces glandular secretion in endometrium:   Progesterone  
🗑
Main role of testosterone in women   estrogen precursor  
🗑
Decreased testosterone levels in females cause:   decline in libido, mood changes  
🗑
Progesterone produced where?   in corpus luteum after ovulation; by placenta in PG  
🗑
Progesterone levels rise rapidly after:   ovulation  
🗑
FSH fn:   binds to granulosa cells and stimulates estradiol secretion  
🗑
In a state of estrogen deficiency, more ____ is secreted   FSH  
🗑
During luteal (secretory) phase, ______ are suppressed to low levels   FSH and LH  
🗑
Plasma LH surge precedes ovulation by   24-36 hrs  
🗑
Estrogen pattern during menstrual cycle   Secretion peaks just before midcycle, drops sharply with ovulation, rises again to plateau, then decreases again before menstruation  
🗑
During luteal (secretory) phase, predominant hormone changes from:   estradiol to progesterone  
🗑
Adequate progesterone production is necessary to facilitate:   implantation and sustain early pregnancy  
🗑
Progesterone MOA   Acts primarily on endometrium, initiates secretory phase  
🗑
Results of hyperprolactinemia   Loss of libido; Galactorrhea; Oligomenorrhea/ amenorrhea; Infertility; Decreased muscle mass; Osteoporosis  
🗑
Decreased _____ levels in females cause decline in libido, mood changes   testosterone  
🗑
Hormone levels in PG:   FSH/LH low; progesterone high  
🗑
Primary test of menopause:   FSH  
🗑
GnRH Low:   hypothalamic hypogonadism, dopamine, opiates  
🗑
GnRH high:   primary hypopituitary hypogonadism, epinephrine  
🗑
GnRH testing: avoid:   steroids, ACTH, gonadotropin or estrogen medications for ≥48hrs  
🗑
FSH low:   secondary gonadal failure, stress, malnutrition/anorexia, severe illness, hyperprolactinemia, PG  
🗑
FSH high:   primary gonadal failure, castration, alcoholism  
🗑
LH low   pit or hypothalamic failure, severe stress, anorexia, malnutrition, severe illness, PG, hemochromatosis, sickle cell anemia, hyperprolactinemia  
🗑
LH high   gonadal failure, precocious puberty, pituitary adenoma, menopause, PCOS  
🗑
LH: Best time to obtain single specimen   between 11am and 3pm  
🗑
Progesterone low   preeclampsia, threatened abortion, placental failure, fetal demise, ovarian neoplasm, amenorrhea, ovarian hypofunction, PCOS  
🗑
Progesterone High:   ovulation, PG, hyperadrenocorticalism, adrenocortical hyperplasia, luteal cysts, molar pregnancy, choriocarcinoma  
🗑
Induces glandular secretion in endometrium:   Progesterone  
🗑
Physiologically most important estrogen   Estradiol (E2); produced in ovary; peaks in ovulatory phase; FB to inc LH & decrease FSH  
🗑
Major circulating estrogen after menopause   estrone (E1); secreted by ovary  
🗑
part of maternal serum quad test   Estriol (tests looking for trisomy/Down syndrome)  
🗑
main role of testosterone in women   estrogen precursor  
🗑
Decreased testosterone levels in females cause:   decline in libido, mood changes  
🗑
FSH assays done to dx:   menopause, menstrual irregularities, gonadal failure, predicting ovulation, evaluating infertility, pituitary disorders  
🗑
Progesterone produced where?   in corpus luteum after ovulation; by placenta in PG  
🗑
Progesterone levels rise rapidly after:   ovulation  
🗑
Estrogen: high   precocious puberty, ovarian tumor, adrenal tumor, gonadal tumor, normal pregnancy, cirrhosis, liver necrosis, hyperthyroidism  
🗑
Estrogen: Low   failing PG, Turner syndrome, hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, Stein-Leventhal syndrome, menopause, anorexia, PCOS  
🗑
Major estrogen in PG   Estriol (E3); produced in placenta  
🗑
Max testosterone values when:   around 7am and 8pm  
🗑
testosterone high:   ovarian tumors, adrenal tumor, congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia, trophoblastic tumor, PCOS, idiopathic hirsutism, drugs  
🗑
testosterone low:   primary/ secondary ovarian failure, drugs  
🗑
FSH fn:   binds to granulosa cells and stimulates estradiol secretion  
🗑
In a state of estrogen deficiency, more ____ is secreted   FSH  
🗑
During luteal phase, ______ are suppressed to low levels   FSH and LH  
🗑
Plasma LH surge precedes ovulation by   24-36 hrs  
🗑
Estrogen during menstrual cycle   Secretion peaks just before midcycle, drops sharply with ovulation, rises again to plateau, then decreases again before menstruation  
🗑
During luteal phase, predominant hormone changes from:   estradiol to progesterone  
🗑
Adequate progesterone prodn necessary to facilitate:   implantation and sustain early pregnancy  
🗑
Progesterone MOA   Acts primarily on endometrium, initiates secretory phase  
🗑
Progesterone w/drawal test evaluates:   H-P-gonadal axis  
🗑
Progesterone withdrawal test: in normal cycle, progesterone surge:   inhibits FSH/LH and leads to withdrawal bleeding  
🗑
Progesterone withdrawal test: probs causing failure of bleeding:   Estrogen production inadequate; Hypothalamic dysfunction; Uterus abnormal  
🗑
Prolactin high   pit adenoma, 2d amenorrhea, galactorrhea, hypothyroid, hypoglycemia, PCOS, anorexia, paraneoplastic syndromes, dz of hypothalamus /pituitary stalk, renal fail, drugs lowering dopamine, high estrogen
