Structural and functional properties of the corpus luteum of pregnancy.
In domestic ruminants the parenchyma of the corpus luteum consists of two subpopulations of steroidogenic cells commonly referred to as small and large luteal cells.

NOMENCLATURE OF CORPUS LUTEUM HORMONE [PDF]
DURING the past year, the progestational harmone has been isolated from the corpus luteum in pure form and its constitution established. Heretofore, two different names have been used in the literature for this hormone (progestin, luteosterone). For the sake of international uniformity, we agree to use hereafter in the scientific literature only the ...

Morphological Aspects in Corpus Luteum Formation in Mice
Immediately after ovulation, in the follicular cavity, by multiplying and metaplasia of granulosa and internal sheath cells, a transient endocrine gland is formed, known as the corpus luteum (corpus luteum). Although in adult mice, ovulation occurs every

Morphological differences between Water deer and Sika deer ovaries during estrus and pregnancy
Background: Research on the reproductive physiology of Water and Sika deer, an endemic in Korea, still needs to be completed. This study analyzed the ovarian development and morphological characteristics of wild Water deer and Sika deer.

Temporal and spatial expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and -2) in the bovine corpus luteum [PDF]
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), may mediate the dramatic structural and functional changes in the corpus luteum (CL) over the course of its life span.

Concerted action of human chorionic gonadotropin and norepinephrine on intracellular-free calcium in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
Luteal cells are known to possess receptors for LH/hCG and receptors of the beta-adrenergic type. Interactions of specific agonists with either receptor lead to the activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequently to an increase of cAMP.

Lives in the balance: responsiveness of the corpus luteum to uterine and embryonic signals.
This review focuses on factors that may affect the sensitivity of the corpus luteum to uterine prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) and embryonic signals.

Cytology of the Corpus Luteum [PDF]
Past current and future research into the cytological and morphological aspects of the corpus luteum are reviewed describing the current state of knowledge on lutein cells and new methods of research. Current knowledge on many aspects of the corpus luteum function is rudimentary and understanding of steroid synthesis and secretion is particularly ...

Short oestrous cycles in sheep during anoestrus involve defects in progesterone biosynthesis and luteal neovascularisation [PDF]
Anoestrous ewes can be induced to ovulate by the socio-sexual, 'ram effect'. However, in some ewes the induced ovulation is followed by an abnormally short luteal phase causing a so called, "short cycle".
