[Role of hormone receptors in the regulation of the corpus luteum].

Recent publication dealing with the hormonal regulation of the corpus luteum function has been reviewed. Hormones and receptors involved in this regulation are: LH and placental analogue HCG, prolactin and placental analogue hPL, prostaglandins, oestradiol and androgens. The hormone receptor interaction, in the luteal cells, and the role of each hormone in the modulation of the cell responsiveness has been reviewed.
