During pregnancy, the positive feedback loop that plays a part in regulating products of the HPA axis is altered. Prenatal levels of cortisol and placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (pCRH) have been shown to be elevated during pregnancy. Placental corticotropin-releasing hormone is considered a “placental clock” that changes the development of the onset of parturition (Glynn, Davis Sandman, 2013). According to Glynn et al., these elevations have been linked to changes in the sensitivity of

Progesterone, a type of female sex hormone which belong to a steroid hormone class known as progestogen, has a major role in the development of oral contraception. Progesterone is produced in ovaries, adrenal gland and in placenta when women get pregnant.

Ovulation occurs

Article Discussion 1 1) Does the title of the article properly reflect the findings of the experiment and why? The title of this article does properly reflect the findings of this experiment because the results of this study are that hypothalamic progesterone is required for LH release and is important in the LH surge. This title also includes how the study animals were modified prior to experimentation and the name of the animals in this study. It is important to identify the study animal in the title
