Give the 5 functions of testosterone
1. differentiation of epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles (internal genitalia EXCEPT prostate)
2. growth cspurt (penis, seminal vesicles, sperm, mm, RBCs)
3. deepening of voice
4. closing of epiphyseal plates (c/o estrogen converted from testosterone)
5. libido
Give the 4 functions of estrogen
1. development of genitalia and breast, female fat distribution
2. growth of follicle, endometrial proliferation, increased myometrial excitability
3. upregulation of estrogen, LH and progesterone receptors; feedback inhibition of FSH and LH, then LH surge; stimulation of prolactin secretion (but blocks its action at breast)
4. increased transport of proteins, SHBG; increased HDL; decreased LDL
Estrogen receptors expressed in the _______ ; translocate to the ____ when bound by ligand
cytoplasm; nucleus
What converts cholesterol ---> androstenedione? Where?
Desmolase (c/o LH stimulation in the Theca cell)
What converts androstenedione --> estrogen? Where?
Aromatase (c/o FSH stimulation in the Granulosa cell)
Give the 8 functions of Progesterone
1. stimulation of endometrial glandular secretions and spiral artery development
2. maintenance of pregnancy
3. decreased myometrial excitability
4. production of thick cervical mucus, which inhibits sperm entry into the uterus
5. increased body temp
6. inhibition of gonadotropins (LH, FSH)
7. uterine smooth muscle relaxation (preventing contractions)
8. decreased estrogen receptor expressivity
**elevation = ovulation**
blood from ruptured follicle causes peritoneal irritation

presents like appendicitis
