Using the gonadostat theory of puberty as a framework, how do you think the positive feedback effects of estradiol change during puberty? Explain your answer in terms of the sensitivity of feedback systems. There is no need to reference the coincidence model of ovulation to answer this question
Gonadostat theory is a kind of mechanism which is associated
with the initiation of puberty as well as ovarian hormones. The
hypothalamic and pituitary secretions change in the hypothalamic
catecholamine neurotransmitter. This is the mechanism which is also
associated with ovary and testicle hormone to regulate the
pituitary and hypothalamic secretions.
Gonadostat's theory of puberty acts as a framework responsible for
positive feedback as many experiments are performed to identify
whether estradiol influences intramural mechanism. Gonadostat's
theory responds towards the steroids that do not change with
puberty. Positive feedback one can observe the late puberty at the
age of about 50%. Menstrual cycles in the list in the early puberty
are observed. Positive feedback involved the maturation of the
central nervous system and enhancement of hormone which drives
puberty. This is also required to change the neurosecretory
neurons.Sensitive towards the negative feedback involved the
circulation of androgen and estrogen in the pre-puberty and
hypothalamic regulatory system.
