Pituitary gland cells are kept alive in a nutrient solution. The cells release FSH and LH. Progesterone is added to the solution.

Which statement explains how the release of FSH and LH is expected to change?

The release of both FSH and LH increases because progesterone stimulates the release of both hormones.

B

FSH release increases but LH release decreases because progesterone stimulates FSH release and inhibits LH release.

C

FSH release decreases but LH release increases because progesterone inhibits FSH release and stimulates LH release.
