Seven days after ovulation, pituitary secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) decreases rapidly. What is the cause of this decrease in secretion?

#7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. The anterior pituitary gland becomes unresponsive to the stimulatory effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
  2. Estrogen from the developing follicles exerts a feedback inhibition on the hypothalamus
  3. The rise in body temperature inhibits hypothalamic release of GnRH
  4. Secretion of estrogen and progesterone by the corpus luteum suppresses hypothalamic secretion of GnRH and pituitary secretion of LH
