The corpus luteum (CL) is an important endocrine organ in the menstrual cycle and in pregnancy. The regulation of its hormonal production has been extensively studied. The steroidogenic abilities of the CL can be rescued by human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) but its role in the maintenance of CL function is not clear. We will discuss the hypothesis that there are fetoplacental factors, other than HCG, that modulate CL steroidogenesis.
黄体（CL）是月经周期和孕期中的一个重要内分泌器官。其激素分泌的调节已得到广泛研究。人绒毛膜促性腺激素（HCG）可恢复黄体的类固醇生成能力，但其在维持黄体功能中的作用尚不清楚。我们将探讨一种假说，即除了HCG之外，还存在调节黄体类固醇生成的胎儿胎盘因子。
