Luteolysis
Luteolysis is the structural and functional degradation of the corpus luteum, which occurs at the end of the luteal phase of both the estrous and menstrual cycles in the absence of pregnancy. In domestic animals, luteolysis is initiated by the hormones prostaglandin F2alpha and oxytocin. In sheep, communication between the pars nervosa, corpus luteum, and the uterus endometrium via the circulatory system is required for luteolysis. Studies with sheep have found that, if the uterine horn ipsalateral to the ovary possessing the CL is surgically removed, the lifespan of the corpus luteum will increase drastically. Luteolysis in primates, however, is not caused by prostaglandin, and removal of the uterus will not prolong the life of the corpus luteum. However, primates do respond to PGF2a, and women and asthmatics should take great care when handling this hormone. Oestrogen and primarily progesterone, secreted by the corpus luteum, inhibit the release of Luteinizing hormone by the adenohypophysis via classical negative feedback mechanisms. This removes the luteotrophic support provided by the gonadotropin Luteinizing Hormone, and the corpus luteum degrades to a corpus albicans, which is eventually absorbed into the ovary.
