Although luteinizing hormone (LH) of the anterior pituitary is considered primarily responsible for the initiation of luteinization in most species, the mechanisms governing the subsequent life and death of the corpus luteum vary among species. In women and in nonhuman primate, the corpus luteum derives its support from LH that must be continuously present. To date, the factors regulating the life span and endocrine activity of the corpus luteum in humans and primates are not completely understood. This article summarizes our study on luteinizing hormone and chorionic gonadotropin receptors in human corpora lutea during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy and the apoptosis of human corpora lutea during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
虽然垂体前叶的促黄体生成素（LH）被认为是大多数物种中黄体化启动的主要原因，但黄体随后的生存和死亡机制在不同物种间存在差异。在女性和非人类灵长类动物中，黄体依赖于必须持续存在的LH来维持。迄今为止，调节人类和灵长类动物黄体寿命和内分泌活性的因素尚未完全明确。本文总结了我们关于月经周期和孕期人黄体中促黄体生成素和绒毛膜促性腺激素受体的研究，以及月经周期和孕期人黄体的凋亡情况。
