Feedback:
The main effects of LH and FSH include stimulating the formation of ova and stimulating the secretion of hormones from sex organs. Gonadotropic hormones also stimulate the development of secondary female sexual characteristics. The ovaries begin to secrete estrogens. The estrogens include estradiol, estriol, and estrone. After puberty, the corpus luteum of the ovary produces another hormone, progesterone, which functions primarily during pregnancy.
