Estrogen Synthesis
Drospirenone binds to
androgen and progesterone
receptors to inhibit and
slow the release of GnRH
from the hypothalamus. The
preceding step of a LH surge
to activate ovulation is
suppressed.
Blood-Brain Barrier
Diffusion
Kisspeptin neuron
The transcription of
proteins like glycoprotein
hormones (FSH and LH) is
inhibited since there is
less GnRH. Those
glycoproteins will be less
available in the blood.
The low level of
transcription of the LH and
FSH hormones results in the
inhibition of the ovulation
(release of an egg by the
ovary) that needs the surge
of those hormones.
