Just a few questions on female hormones:
1) When an egg is fertilised, Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) is released by the placental trophoplast, but what exactly is the stimulation for the secretion? (e.g. secretion of oestrogen is stimulated by LH and FSH)
2) Similarly, which hormones stimulate the secretion of oxytocin and prolactin?
3) What inhibits the production of oxytocin and prolactin?
Thanks so much, I can't seem to find anything on inhibition of hormones...
