Chez la femme, les taux d'œstrogène sont [...] régulés par une boucle de rétroaction. La production d'œstrogène est assurée principalement par deux hormones, l'hormone lutéinisante (LH) et l'hormone folliculostimulante (FSH) produites par l'hypophyse ou glande pituitaire. Ces hormones invitent les ovaires à augmenter leur production d'œstrogène. L'hypophyse détermine également à quel moment il y a suffisamment d'œstrogène et réduit alors sa production de LH et de FSH. 2, record 1, French, - hormone%20lut%C3%A9inisante
