Abstract

The corpus luteum (CL) is a temporary endocrine gland whose main function is to secrete progesterone to support pregnancy. On the other hand, the cyclic bovine CL has also been shown to be a site of prostaglandin F_2α (PGF_2α) production. Although there is general agreement that endometrial PGF_2α is an essential luteolysin in cattle, luteal PGF_2α seems to play a luteotropic role as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor, especially for the development and maintenance of the CL. This supposition is based on evidence that some of the prerequisites for autocrine/paracrine mechanisms are present, including local production of PGF_2α and the existence of specific binding sites within the CL. The purpose of this paper is to review the regulation of luteal PGF_2α secretion, its action on CL as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor and the receptivity of bovine CL to. PGF_2α.
