Answer 1

Answer=

A female patient is infertile due to low endogenous levels of LH and FSH. A pill containing optimal amounts of the LH and FSH hormones can be administered by mouth to effectively treat this person’s infertility.

this statement is correct.

explanation =A pill that contains optimal amounts of LH & FSH & can be administered by mouth is Clomiphene Citrate(clomid)

this drug is a competitive inhibitor of estradiol.It blocks estrogen receptors in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus,which causes the hypothalamus to signal the pituitary gland to release more FSH(follicle stimulating harmone) and LH(luteinizing hormone) into the bloodstream.The increased levels of FSH lead to the development of the follicle and egg which secretes more estrogen into the bloodstream.About a week after ingestion of the last clomiphene tablet,the hypothalamus receptors are no longer blocked and thus trigger an LH surge in response to the artificially elevated levels of estrogen in the blood.
