Identification and characterization of luteotrophic activity in the rabbit placenta

Abstract

dc:description

The corpus luteum of the rabbit requires estrogen and the conceptus to maintain progesterone production throughout pregnancy. The factor produced by the fetal placenta which is responsible for maintaining progesterone production has not been conclusively identified. Therefore, the focus of this thesis was to identify and characterize the luteotrophic activity in the rabbit placenta.
