Studies using newer, potent GnRH antagonists and pure gonadotrophins have clarified the
importance of:(i) the strength-duration of the midcycle surge of pituitary gonadotrophins (LH …

We tested the hypothesis that progesterone (P4) acts at a local level to inhibit luteal
apoptosis. Initial experiments employed aminoglutethimide, a P450 cholesterol side-chain …

Contents Functional lifespan of the corpus luteum (CL) in non‐pregnant dogs exceeds that
