Pulmonary surfactant, secreted via exocytosis of lamellar bodies (LB) by alveolar type II (AT II) cells, maintains low alveolar surface tension and is therefore essential for normal lung function.
This in turn causes abnormalities in the levels of the other hormones, Estrogen and Progesterone, thus adding to the chemical turmoil in the body. The common causes of Anovulatory Cycles include: Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). Hyperprolactinaemia (increased blood levels of the hormone Prolactin).
This increase in progesterone is necessary for the lining of your uterus to shed. In other words, you wonât get your period. In some types of anovulatory cycles, this lack of a bump in progesterone allows for a relative excess of estrogen. This unbalanced estrogen results in an abnormal thickening of the endometrium.
