Explain how the administration of FSH could increase fertility in a person without CAIS but
will not increase fertility in a person with CAIS
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is a hormone that plays a key role in the reproductive system by stimulating the development of follicles in the ovaries in females. In individuals without Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), FSH can help increase fertility by promoting the growth and development of ovarian follicles, leading to the release of mature eggs during ovulation.
In individuals with CAIS, the body does not respond to androgens (male hormones) as it normally would, leading to a lack of development of male sex characteristics. In people with CAIS, the presence of testes that do not respond to FSH stimulation results in the inability to produce mature eggs and ovulate, regardless of the administration of FSH. Therefore, while FSH may increase fertility in individuals without CAIS by promoting the growth and release of eggs, it will not have the same effect in individuals with CAIS due to the underlying biological differences in the reproductive system.
