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).
If you have regular periods, you have a 95 per cent chance of ovulation. Therefore, you can be anovulatory even if your menstrual cycle is seemingly normal. Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary, a process triggered by the hormone progesterone. The egg then travels down the fallopian tube where it waits to be fertilised. If it is fertilised, conception occurs.
