This book describes the life cycle of a unique endocrine gland that
is absolutely essential for the establishment and maintenance of
pregnancy in all mammalian species. The corpus luteum is unique
because it is formed and destroyed every (non-fertile) reproductive
cycle. When fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum is rescued or
maintained. The processes that control corpus luteum formation,
demise (luteolysis), or maintenance are just beginning to be
unraveled in recent years; they involve diverse cell types and
mechanisms. Some of these processes resemble tumor
development-angiogenesis, for instance-but interestingly enough,
this resemblance is only up to a point. The corpus luteum uses
mechanisms that allow its normal, physiological growth and
disappearance. Pulling together key research on the corpus luteum,
this volume is of interest to both reproductive endocrinologists
and comparative physiologists, with clinical relevance spanning
comparative animal studies to women's health.
