The human corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland that develops after ovulation from the ruptured follicle during the luteal phase. It is an important contributor of steroid hormones, particularly progesterone, and ...

Flow cytometry analysis of luteal cells revealed that an important proportion of these cells are leukocytes. The percentage of leukocytes was higher in the early (42 ± 4) and late (35 ± 3) luteal phases than in the mid-luteal ...

Objective: The main objective of this pilot study was to determine whether a progesterone-releasing vaginal ring is a good alternative for luteal phase support for patients undergoing intrauterine insemination after ovulation ...

To investigate the luteal phase endometrial expression of leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), progesterone receptor (PR), claudin 4 (CLDN4), vascular-endothelial growth factor receptor 3 ...

It has been reported that the mammalian corpus luteum is composed mainly of two subpopulations of luteal cells (large and small) of different morphology and function. The aims of this study were first to characterize ...

Background: The effects of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) administered in the luteal phase remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of the administration of a single-dose of ...

Objective: To determine whether there is an association between endometrial expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle preceding in vitro fertilization (IVF) and treatment ...

The steroidogenic capacity and oxidative stress-related parameters of the human corpus luteum (CL) at different stages of the luteal phase were studied under basal and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated conditions. ...
