Briefly mention the mechanism of action of FSH.
Answers
Answer:
hey mate here is your answer
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted by the pars distalis region of the anterior pituitary.
It regulates the development, growth, and reproductive processes of the human body. In the ovary, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicle. As the follicle grows and matures, it releases an inhibitory hormone known as inhibin that ends the process of FSH production.
thankyou :)
Answer:
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone which synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
It regulates the development, growth, and reproductive processes of the human body.
FSH shows its effect by binding to its specific receptors present on the ovarian cell membrane.
Binding of FSH to its specific receptor present over the cell surface activates an enzyme called adenylate cyclase.
This enzyme converts ATP into cyclic AMP.
The cyclicAMP is called the second messenger and carries out various biochemical responses in the cell by activating the existing enzyme system in the cell.
The biochemical responses then lead to physiological responses like ovarian growth.
