Regarding reproductive parameters, we also found similar ovarian mass and the number of
corpora lutea in both the protein restriction group and control group.
Number of growing follicles and
corpora lutea were decreased upon ovarian transplantation in mice and rats compared with control (Tables I, II).
This rise in LH leads to an ovulatory event that produces a great number of secondary
corpora lutea with oocyte retention (i.e., pseudoovulation) and a consequent and marked increment of the P4 levels [28-31].
Ovarian follicles in different stages of development (primary (1), preantral (2), and antral (3) follicles) and
corpora lutea (4) were separated by a stroma (S).

The function of the accessory
corpora lutea in the hystricomorph rodents.
No changes in the percentage of pregnant females in all the inseminated females, number of
corpora lutea and implants per litter were observed.
Uterus weight with fetuses, number of
corpora lutea and implants, pre-implantation loss and number of live fetuses were similar (p > 0.05) among experimental groups (Table 1).
The differences in these parameters (number of
corpora lutea and rate of resorption) between STZ-induced DM group and STZ-induced DM treated with both zinc and insulin groups were proved to be insignificant (Table 2).
We found
corpora lutea and lactation evident in females as young as 8-12 months of age.

corpora lutea detected during USG, absence of vaginal bleeding after laparotomy for ectopic pregnancy,
