Menarche, menstrual cycles and menopause in females are controlled by the following hormones EXCEPT:
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Menarche, menstrual cycles, and menopause in females are regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The hypothalamus secretes Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH).
Interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH) is the term used for Luteinizing hormone (LH) in males, as it stimulates the interstitial cells of Leydig in the testes to produce testosterone. Therefore, the term ICSH is specific to male physiology and is not used in the context of female reproductive cycles.
Answer: ICSH
