Hysterectomy (3 animals) or diversion of the uterine venous blood from the ovarian vasculature (3 animals) has no effect on the duration of hormonally-induced luteal activity in the pseudopregnant luteal-phase cat (control: 4 animals), suggesting that the uterus exerts no local or systemic influence on the duration of luteal function.
