AB  - The  female  and  male  reproductive  systems  develop  selectively  as  a  result  of  specific  hormonal  signals  (sex-determining  region  on  the  Y  chromosome,  anti-Mullerian  hormone,  testosterone/5α-dihydrotestosterone,  and  estrogens)  that  lead  to  further  development  or  regression  of  embryological  structures.  Additional  hormones  (gonadotropin-releasing  hormone,  follicle-stimulating  hormone,  luteinizing  hormone,  progesterone,  and  human  chorionic  gonadotropin)  influence  further  development  and  subsequent  adult  functions,  including  the  menstrual  cycle,  fertilization  and  pregnancy,  lactation,  and  oogenesis/spermatogenesis.  These  hormones  work  via  signaling  proteins,  including  several  variations  of  G  proteins,  to  selectively  activate  or  inhibit  these  developmental  and  functional  events.
