		A typical corpus luteum is round and fluid-filled and can range in size from less than two centimeters (about an inch) to six centimeters or more.

	Comments on the Corpus Luteum and Some Related Aspects, by Dr. Nelson Soucasaux, at the Museum of Menstruation and ...
		The corpus luteum involution between its 10th and 14th days of existence seems to be due to a reduction in its LH-receptors, what makes its responsivity to the LH become smaller.
		Some authors observe that, on a short term basis, the LH action upon the corpus luteum causes a reduction in the LH-receptors of the lutein cells, and that this may be the main mechanism responsible for limiting the normal lutein function to 12-14 days.
		In this way, due to the local action exerted by the corpus luteum that develops there, the ovary that ovulates in one cycle would be incapable of immediately re-starting the follicular growth and, therefore, of ovulating in the next cycle.

		In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates and progesterone and estrogen levels subsequently fall.
		Towards the end of the cycle, the corpus luteum devolves into the corpus albicans, or white scar.
		As progesterone and estrogen levels decrease with the degeneration of the corpus luteum, the endometrium begins to undergo involution.

		Upon ovulation, a structure known as the corpus luteum forms at the site on the ovary from which the egg was released.
		The corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone, resulting in the stoppage of "heat behavior." It also cause the uterus to tone and prepare for implantation of a fertilized egg.
		The regression of the corpus luteum results is decreased progesterone levels in the blood, allowing the mare to come back into heat.

		The granulosa cells and theca cells of the developing antral follicle and the steroidogenic cells of the corpus luteum produce and respond to angiogenic factors and vasoactive peptides.
		Available evidence indicates that microvascular endothelial cells of the corpus luteum are not alike, and may differ during the process of angiogenesis and angioregression.
		The contributions of vasoactive peptides generated by the luteal endothelin-1 and the renin-angiotensin systems are discussed in context with the function of endothelial cells during corpus luteum formation and regression.

		The corpus luteum is a dynamic tissue whose cellular composition is traced to the remnants of the ovarian follicle, neovascularization and infiltration of immune cells.
		During this time, whether it is during the development, maintenance, or regression stage the corpus luteum function is mediated by a number of influences including steroids, growth factors, gonadotropins, prostaglandins, cytokines, and peptide hormones.
		The corpus luteum forum is organized to sequentially convey recent developments in the development, function and regression of the corpus luteum.
