• The ability to reproduce is one of the properties which distinguishes living from non-living matter.
• The reproductive system is a system of organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproduction.
• The Major organs include-
a. genitalia (penis and vulva)
b. Internal organs (testicles and ovaries)
• Both males and females produce specialised reproductive germ cells, called gametes. The male gametes are called spermatozoa and the female gametes are called ova.
![Page 5: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Female Reproductive Systems Male Reproductive Systems
• Formation of female gametes, ova
• Reception of male gametes, spermatozoa
•Provision of suitable environments for fertilisation of the ovum by spermatozoa and development of the resultant fetus
• Parturition (childbirth)
• Lactation, the production of breast milk, which provides complete nourishment for the baby in its early life.
• production of male gametes, spermatozoa
•transmission of spermatozoa to the female.

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLEThe cyclic events that take place in a rhythmic
fashion during the reproductive period of woman’s life is called “Female Reproductive Cycle”.
Duration: 28 days (24 - 35 days)
– Absent upto 12-14 years
– Again stops after 45-50 years
Phases:
– Menstrual Phase (1 – 5 day)
– Pre ovulatory Phase (6 – 13 day)• Ovulation (14 day)
– Post ovulatory Phase(15 – 28 day)

Estrogen
• Estrus + gen/gonos• Steroid hormones produced predominantly by the
ovaries.• Although the adrenals, placenta, and other organs
may contribute. • Roles in both males and females.
– Males: growth spurt, skeletal maturation, maturation of sperm, healthy libido.
– Females: development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics, regulate menstrual cycle, skeletal maturation.

Actions of estrogens
• On sexual organs (primary and secondary sexual characteristics)
• ovaries : stimulate follicular growth; small doses cause an increase in weight of ovary; large doses cause atrophy
• uterus: endometrial growth• vagina: thickening and stratification of
epithelium• cervix: increase of cervical mucous with a
lowered viscosity (favoring sperm access)
![Page 22: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Actions of estrogens• Development and maintenance of internal
(fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina), and external genitalia
• skin: increase in vascularization, development of soft, textured and smooth skin
• bone: increase osteoblastic activity• electrolytes: retention of Na+, Cl- and water by
the kidney• cholesterol: hypocholesterolemic effect (↑HDL,↓ LDL)• GI Tract: reduction of bowel motility

Progesterone(pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione)
• Steroid hormone synthesized predominantly by the
corpus luteum and placenta during the
postovulatory or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
• During pregnancy, the placenta takes over the
production of progesterone.
• The adrenal cortex is also a source of small amounts
of progesterone.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone
By Sanket Patel
![Page 36: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Introduction
• It is synthesized and secreted by gonadotropes of the Anterior Pituitary Gland.
• FSH regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.
• FSH and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) act synergistically in reproduction.
![Page 37: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Biochemical Structure• FSH is a glycoprotein.• The Protein Dimer contains 2 polypeptide units,
labeled alpha and beta subunits. • The alpha subunits contain 92 amino acids.• The beta subunits vary but generally contain 118
amino acids.• The sugar part of the hormone is composed of
fructose, galactose, mannose, galactosamine, glucosamine and sialic acid.
• The Half-life of FSH is 3-4 hours. Its molecular wt is 30,000.
![Page 38: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Biochemical Functions
• In both males and females, FSH stimulates the maturation of germ cells.
• In males, FSH stimulates maturation of seminiferous tubules and spermatogenesis.
• In males, FSH enhances the production of androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells of the testes and is critical for spermatogenesis.
• In females, FSH initiates follicular growth, increases the weight of the ovaries and enhances the production of estrogens.
![Page 39: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
High FSH Levels
• Premature menopause also known as Premature Ovarian Failure
• Poor ovarian reserve also known as Premature Ovarian Aging
• Gonadal Dysgenesis or Turner syndrome • Castration • Certain forms of CAH • Testicular failure.
![Page 40: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Low FSH Levels
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome + Obesity +
Hirsutism + Infertility • Kallmann syndrome • Hypothalamic suppression • Hypopituitarism• Hyperprolactinemia • Gonadotropin Deficiency
![Page 41: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
•Luteinizing Hormone
![Page 42: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Definition
• Luteinizing hormone (LH), also known as lutropin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland.
• In the female, an acute rise LH – the LH surge – triggers ovulation.
• In the male, where LH had also been called Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH),it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone.
![Page 43: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Functions
• In Female,– it controls the length and sequence of the female
menstrual cycle, – including ovulation, – preparation the uterus for implantation of a
fertilized egg, and – ovarian production of both estrogen and
progesterone. • In males,
– it stimulates the testes to produce androgen.
![Page 44: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
STRUCTURE
• LH is a heterodimeric glycoprotein.
• Each monomeric unit is a glycoprotein molecule;– one alpha and
– one beta subunit make the full, functional protein.
• The protein dimer contains 2 glycopeptidic subunits, labeled alpha and beta subunits, that are non-covalently associated (i.e. without any disulfide bridge linking them).
![Page 45: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
STRUCTURE Cont…
• The alpha subunits of LH contain 92 amino acids in human but 96 amino acids in almost all other vertebrate species (glycoprotein hormones do not exist in invertebrates).
• The beta subunits vary. LH has a beta subunit of 121 amino acids (LHB) that confers its specific biologic action and is responsible for the specificity of the interaction with the LH receptor.

AVAILABILITY• LH is available mixed with FSH in the form of
Pergonal, and other forms of urinary gonadotropins .
• Recombinant LH is available as lutropin alfa (Luveris).
• All these medications have to be given parenterally.
• They are commonly used in infertility therapy to stimulate follicular development, notably in IVF therapy.
![Page 48: Harmones of reproductive systems](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555bf293d8b42a5b448b478d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Diseases related with the efficiency of LH
• Diminished secretion of LH can result in failure of gonadal function (hypogonadism).
• This condition is typically manifest in males as failure in production of normal numbers of sperm.
• In females, amenorrhea is commonly observed.

ANOVULATION
DEFINITIONAnovulation is a condition in which the ovary does not release a ripened egg each month as part of a woman's normal cycle in her reproductive years. Naturally, with no egg available for sperm, a woman cannot become pregnant. Thus, anovulation is a prime factor in infertility.

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS
Hyperprolactinemia.
Excessive exercise and weight loss. Suppresses the output of hormones called gonadotropins from the hypothalamus in the brain.
Oral contraceptive pills. Disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, suppressing ovulation and thereby preventing pregnancy.

DRUGS
Bromocriptine- suppresses prolactin level
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) - induces ovulation, by relaese of
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)

SynthesisOxytocin is made in magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamusIn the pituitary gland, oxytocin is packaged in large, dense-core vesicles, where it is bound to neurophysin IOxytocin is also made by some neurons in the paraventricular nucleus that project to other parts of the brain and to the spinal cord

Drugs form & drugs containing oxytocin
Trade names Pitocin and SyntocinonDosage form: injectables & nasal sprayInjected oxytocin analogues are used to induce labor and support labor in case of non-progression of parturition.

It is best known for its roles in female reproduction:
released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and vagina during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding.
Oxytocin is also used in veterinary medicine to facilitate birth and to increase milk production.

Gynaecomastia
• Enlargement of the breast tissue beneath the areola • Common among elderly men• Associated weight gain. • Half of males experience enlargement of one or both
breasts• Can be the first sign of testicular tumor
Medical evaluation is always indicated whenBreast enlargement occurs
• More common in patients with klinefelter's syndrome• Pseudogynaecomastia
breast enlargement due to fat accumulation.
