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).
Anovulation may signal an underlying fertility problem, or otherwise simply be caused by lifestyle factors. The most common cause of anovulation is a hormonal imbalance that disrupts reproductive health. Indeed, hormones trigger and regulate the body's reproductive cycles, including menstruation and ovulation. The following factors may contribute to hormonal imbalance: 1  breastfeeding. 2  weight fluctuations including weight loss and weight gain. 3  eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. 4  over-exercising. 5  high stress.
