Blood levels of estrogen would continue to increase while blood levels of GnRH and LH decreased.
Solution
If the ovary was inhibited from releasing progesterone, blood levels of estrogen would decrease while blood levels of GnRH and LH continued to increase.
Here's why:
-
Progesterone is a hormone that is produced by the ovaries following ovulation. It plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy.
-
If the ovary was inhibited from releasing progesterone, the negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland would be removed.
-
This would lead to an increase in the release of GnRH from the hypothalamus, which would then stimulate the pituitary gland to release more LH.
-
However, without the presence of progesterone, the ovaries would not be stimulated to produce and release estrogen.
-
Therefore, blood levels of estrogen would decrease while blood levels of GnRH and LH continued to increase.
