TLDR
The results confirmed that initiation of therapy at the onset of menstruation was followed by an immediate and significant decrease in luteal PG in three out of five women receiving 5 mg.

The Regulation of the Mammalian Corpus Luteum

TL;DR: This chapter presents an overview of the regulation of the mammalian corpus luteum (CL), an ovarian follicle in which the rapid regression is temporarily arrested and progesterone secretion goes hand in hand with the postponement of regression.

Mechanisms Controlling Corpus Luteum Function in Sheep, Cows, Nonhuman Primates, and Women Especially in Relation to the Time of Luteolysis

TL;DR: By determining the function of luteal steroidogenic cells at different stages during the life of the CL it may be possible to identify factors causing luteolysis and those required for the maintenance of pregnancy.

The diagnosis of luteal phase deficiency: a critical review

TL;DR: No current research method for the diagnosis of LPD appears to be a practical method that could be applied in the clinical setting, but specific secretory proteins from the endometrium and methods to measure hormone secretion that circumvent the secretory pattern hold promise for improved methods to diagnose LPD in the future.

Spontaneous abortion incidence in the treatment of infertility

TL;DR: Analysis of published series indicates that, irrespective of the method of data collection, close agreement exists on empirically derived incidences of spontaneous abortion in North American populations, provided that age, previous abortion history, and gravidity are controlled.

Radioimmunoassay: A Method for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and Human Luteinizing Hormone1

TL;DR: The assay is sufficiently sensitive to permit quantitation of normal amounts of luteinizing hormone in 0.1 ml of unconcentrated serum and urine of women near the time of presumed ovulation.

A Radioimmunoassay for Human Prolactin

TL;DR: The concentration of prolactin in the serum of normal children and adults of either sex was usually below 30 ng/ml, while very high concentrations were observed in newborn infants, and during pregnancy, the concentration rose progressively from an average of 30 ng-ml in the first trimester to 200 ng-ML at term.

A possible role for prolactin in control of steroid secretion by the human Graafian follicle

TL;DR: It is reported that the production of progesterone by human granulosa cells in vitro requires low physiological concentrations of prolactin whereas high concentrations are inhibitory, and it is still possible that Prolactin could play a ‘permissive’ role, as in other species, where alterations in peripheral blood levels have little effect on luteal activity.

Granulosa cell maturation in the rat: increased binding of human chorionic gonadotropin following treatment with follicle-stimulating hormone in vivo.

TL;DR: Results suggest that FSH administered in vivo may act on granulosa cells to induce or activate receptors for I_H (hCG) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity as well as stimulate follicle-stimulating hormone in ovarian development.
