Gonadal hormones – inhibin
-
Identify the correct statement on 'inhibin'.
Inhibin selectively suppresses FSH.
The ovary secretes estradiol, progesterone and inhibin. Inhibin is secreted by granulosa cells of ovarian follicles and the corpus luteum.
Its target is the anterior pituitary, where it inhibits the secretion of FSH.
Antagonistic hormones
-
Which of the following pairs of hormones are not antagonistic (having opposite effects) to each other?
Relaxin and inhibin act on unrelated targets.
Relaxin is secreted by the ovary during pregnancy; it helps parturition, softens the pubic symphysis and relaxes the cervix. Inhibin decreases the secretion of FSH and LH. They do not have opposite effects.
That is every question in Chemical Coordination and Integration for this filter.
