Question

If you had dangerously low levels of cholesterol in your body, what could be a potential side effect?

a)Group of answer choices

b) increased levels of FSH

c) all of these

d) increased levels of GnRH

Answer 1

Synthesis of sex hormones occurs form a common precursor pathway of cholesterol and therefore low levels of cholesterol is associated with decrease in the synthesis of these hormones.

Since the synthesis and inhibition is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism therefore,this results in increased activity of GnRH to release to produce more FSH from anterior pituitary resulting in their increased levels.

Therefore, option all of these is the correct answer.
