1. Corpus luteum

   The corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body"; plural corpora lutea) is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, and moderate levels of estradiol, and inhibin A. It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation.The corpus luteum is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids (including lutein) from the diet and secretes a moderate amount of estrogen that inhibits further release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and thus secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). A new corpus luteum develops with each menstrual cycle.

1. corpus luteum

   The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries, involved in secretion of the hormone progesterone during early pregnancy. It's formed from a follicle that has matured and released its ovum during the menstrual cycle. Its function is crucial in the processes of menstruation and pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, it will degenerate and become a corpus albicans.
