Abstract
The corpus luteum is a temporary reproductive endocrine structure established from a ruptured follicle wall after ovulation. In the ovarian cycle of ruminant species, the corpus luteum organ undergoes a repeated pattern of specific cellular proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. The corpus luteum encounters several physiological events, including growth, function, and regression throughout its life span. Also, the corpus luteum comprises granulosa and theca cells and endothelial cells, such as luteal steroidogenic cells and luteal endothelial cells. These cells play an important role in the physiology of the corpus luteum and the maintenance and degeneration of the corpus luteum. Furthermore, the role of reproductive hormones in the ovaries is important. Representative hormones include estrogen, progesterone, prostaglandin F2α, and oxytocin. Understanding their functions is important in studying the physiological phenomena and various mechanisms of the corpus luteum in the ovary. Therefore, the following review will discuss the role of reproductive hormones and luteal cell types in the microenvironment of the corpus luteum in the bovine ovary.
