After menopause, the production of which of the following hormones does not take place in women?

Correct answer: (a) Progesterone

Explanation

After menopause the ovarian follicles stop forming the corpus luteum, which is the main source of progesterone, so its production effectively ceases.

Estrogen and testosterone are still made in small amounts by the adrenal glands and ovarian/peripheral tissues.

Loss of progesterone ends the menstrual cycle and the cyclic preparation of the uterine lining (endometrium).
