LH causes the mature egg to be released from the ovary and stimulates the release of progesterone.

黄体生成素使成熟的子从巢中来，并刺激黄体酮的。

Progesterone is produced by the empty follicle in the ovary.

黄体酮是由巢中的空泡产生的。

In females, the theca cells respond to luteinizing hormone by producing progesterone and androstenedione.

在女性中，泡膜细胞对促黄体生成素产生反应，从而产生孕酮和雄烯二酮。

LH binds to LH receptors on theca cells and they make progesterone and androstenedione.

LH泡内膜细胞上的LH受体结合，产生黄体酮和雄烯二酮。

The menstrual cycle is controlled by two main hormones: estrogen and progesterone.

月经周期由种主要激素控制：雌激素和黄体酮。

After ovulation, the ovaries enter the luteal phase, which lasts for the two weeks following ovulation.

排，巢进入黄体期，持续到排周。

For a start, oestrogen is anabolic, building up muscle, while progesterone is catabolic, breaking it down.

首先，雌激素是合成代谢的，可以增强肌肉，而黄体酮是分解代谢的，可以分解肌肉。

These are follicle stimulating hormone, or FSH, and luteinizing hormone, or LH.

这包括泡刺激素（FSH）、促黄体生成素（LH）。

During puberty, the Leydig cells of the testes respond to the luteinizing hormone by converting more cholesterol into testosterone.

在青春期，睾丸间质细胞对促黄体生成素作反应，将更多的胆固醇转化为睾酮。

If fertilization occurs, then the corpus luteum continues making progesterone until the placenta forms.

如果受精发生，黄体会持续黄体激素直到胎盘形成。

Luteinized theca cells respond to the low LH concentrations after ovulation by producing more progesterone.

LH水平降低会使黄素化的内膜细胞生成更多黄体酮。

This is more common with follicular and corpus luteal cysts.

这常见于滤泡和黄体囊肿。

During the luteal phase, the remnant of the ovarian follicle, called the corpus luteum, makes progesterone, which negatively inhibits pituitary LH.

在黄体期，残余的巢滤泡，称为黄体，分泌孕激素，通过负反馈作用抑制垂体分泌LH。

Well, that she had a burst of ICSH.

她的促黄体生成激素量突然上升。

So estrogen builds up the uterus lining, and progesterone maintains it during the second half of the menstrual cycle.

所以雌激素会形成子宫内膜，而黄体酮会在月经周期的半段维持子宫内膜。

There are two other hormones also involved — the follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH, and the luteinizing hormone, or LH.

另外还有种激素——促泡激素（FSH）和黄体生成素（LH）。

So, overall, this means that progesterone surpasses estrogen as the dominant hormone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.

这时候黄体酮的作用就会超过雌激素，变成黄体期的主导激素。

And that leads to low levels of the gonadotropin hormones, luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, and low levels of gonadal function.

而这会导致促性腺激素（如促黄体生成素和泡刺激素水平）降低，以及性腺功能水平降低。

And then I'm like, oh, I'm in my luteal phase.

然我就想，哦，我正处于黄体期。

Synthetic progesterone also has a block trick up its sleeve.

合成黄体酮也有一个套路。
