19. Abnormal Pituitary Function— Altered Negative
Feedback Loop
• Increased GnRH from
hypothalamus
• Excessive LH
secretion relative
to FSH by
pituitary gland
• LH stimulates ovarian
thecal cells-- androgen
production
• Ineffective suppression of
the LH pulse frequency
• by estradiol and
progesterone
• Androgen excess
increases LH by
blocking the
hypothalamic inhibitory
feedback of
progesterone

• Follicular maturation is inhibited
• Excess androgen causes thecal
