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).
Most women will experience anovulatory cycles (cycles in which ovulation does not occur) at some point in their lives. Anovulatory periods are really common in the 2-3 years after a womanâs first period, in the years leading up to menopause, and for women who are breastfeeding.
