During menstrual cycle, levels of LH and estrogen are highest around

During menstrual cycle, levels of LH and estrogen are highest around

Options

  1. A14th 14^{\text{th }} day
  2. B21st 21^{\text{st }} day
  3. C7th 7^{\text{th }} day
  4. D28th 28^{\text{th }} day.

Correct answer

A. 14th 14^{\text{th }} day

Step-by-step solution

The secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) increases gradually during the follicular phase and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of estrogens by the growing follicles. Both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of the cycle (about 14th 14^{\text{th }} day). Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during mid-cycle called LH surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation). Concentration of estrogen in blood is also high around 14th 14^{\text{th }} day and reaches its peak.
