Question 4

In modern livestock farming, veterinarians use hormone-releasing intravaginal devices to synchronise the oestrus cycles of a herd. These devices continuously release a hormone that suppresses the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, thereby preventing follicle maturation and ovulation.

Which hormone is used in these devices to maintain this negative feedback state?

A

Luteinising hormone (LH)

B

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

C

Progesterone

D

Oestrogen
