Cells, 2022 The corpus luteum is a small gland of great importance because its proper functioning determines not only the appropriate course of the estrous/menstrual cycle and embryo implantation, but also the subsequent maintenance of pregnancy.

Effects of luteolysis during late pregnancy on pituitary responsiveness to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone in the rat [PDF]
, 1991 We investigated whether the increase in the gonadotrophin response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) during the last days of pregnancy and the occurrence of parturition on day 22 of pregnancy in rats are due to the increase in the plasma ...

Circumvention of luteolysis reveals parturition pathways in mice dependent upon innate type 2 immunity [PDF]
, 2023 Although mice normally enter labor when their ovaries stop producing progesterone (luteolysis), parturition can also be triggered in this species through uterus-intrinsic pathways potentially analogous to the ones that trigger parturition in humans. Such

Histomorphometric and immunohistochemistry studies of the corpus luteum of bedouin goats reared in arid environment [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023 The aim of this work was to study the histomorphometry and the immunohistochemistry of the Corpus luteum (CL) of Bedouin goat living in arid zones. Pregnant and non-pregnant females ovaries were collected from slaughterhouses, weighed, measured and then ...

Gene expression profiling of the canine placenta during normal and antigestagen-induced luteolysis [PDF]
, 2019 The domestic dog is the only domestic animal species that does not produce steroids in the placenta and instead relies on luteal steroids throughout pregnancy.

Opposite regulation of clusterin and LH receptor in the swine corpus luteum during luteolysis [PDF]
, 2003 Luteolysis, which occurs in a cyclical way to remove luteal tissue, may be an example of physiological apoptosis which counterbalances rapid tissue growth after ovulation.

Follistatin secretion by the ovary is not directly related to PGF2α induced luteolysis in the ewe [PDF]
, 2010 Follistatin is a monomeric glycoprotein, expressed ubiquitously, and found in greatest levels in ovarian tissue. Our previous studies have demonstrated that ovarian venous follistatin levels are elevated at the same time as spontaneous luteolysis in ...

Dynamics of luteolysis in lactating dairy cows using two prostaglandin F2alpha analogues [PDF]
, 2010 The probability of a pregnancy decreases substantially in lactating dairy cows treated with Ovsynch if corpus luteum regression is delayed or incomplete.

Small doses of human chorionic gonadotropin prevent estradiol-induced luteolysis [PDF]
, 1984 The manner in which exogenous 17 beta-estradiol (E2) induces premature luteolysis in primates is unclear. In an effort to determine whether exogenous luteotropic hormone inhibits E2-induced luteolysis, E2 capsules were implanted subcutaneously in 11 ...

BMC Genomics, 2017 Background In the domestic dog, corpora lutea (CL) are the only source of progesterone (P4), both in pregnant and non-pregnant cycles because there is no placental steroidogenesis.
