Example sentences for: estrogen-stimulated

How can you use “estrogen-stimulated” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The quantity of LH secreted by the anterior pituitary gland is the outcome of an interaction between the amount of hypothalamic GnRH secretion and the level of gonadotrope responsiveness to GnRH [ 7 ] . Quantitatively, gonadotrope responsiveness is more important than the level of GnRH secretion; for example, during the estrogen-stimulated preovulatory surge of LH secretion in the rat there is a 5-fold increase in GnRH secretion but a 50-fold increase in LH secretion [ 7 ] . Moreover, a quantity of GnRH that will evoke a normal preovulatory LH surge during the period preceding ovulation will induce only a small increase in LH secretion at other stages of the estrous cycle [ 7 ] . Similarly, termination of the preovulatory LH surge appears to be due to desensitization of the gonadotrope to GnRH action; in the sheep, a decrease in LH secretion precedes the decrease in GnRH secretion [ 41 ] , whereas in the rat, although the decrease in GnRH and LH secretion are co-incident [ 7 ] , there is evidence that the gonadotrope is already desensitized to GnRH [ 42 43 ] .
Some of the increase in body mass might be due to estrogen-stimulated edema, as adult females experience a 4-6% gain in body mass during induced estrus [ 15 ] . However, an increased growth rate (g/wk) was evident as early as 105 days in exposed females who would not be expected to express first estrus or the associated changes in body composition until approximately 130 days.
