Cyclical formation and regression of the ovarian corpus luteum is required for reproduction.
During luteal regression, the microvasculature of the corpus luteum is extensively disrupted …

Luteolysis is characterized by angioregression, luteal cell apoptosis, and remodeling of the
extracellular matrix characterized by deposition of collagen 1. Transforming growth factor …

Abstract Thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFB1) are
specifically up-regulated by prostaglandin F2alpha in mature corpus luteum (CL). This study …

The development of the corpus luteum requires angiogenesis, and involves the complex
interplay between factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), fibroblast …

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A are thought
to be key controllers of luteal angiogenesis; however, their precise roles in the regulation …

Angiogenesis plays an integral role in follicular and luteal development and is positively
regulated by several intra-ovarian factors including vascular endothelial growth factor A …

The transition from follicle to corpus luteum represents a period of intense angiogenesis;
however, the exact roles of angiogenic factors during this time remain to be elucidated …

We recently compared prostaglandin F2alpha (PG)-induced global gene expression profiles
in PG-refractory, bovine corpus luteum (CL) collected on Day 4 of the estrous cycle, versus …

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is critical to luteal
structure and function. In addition, it is a complex and tightly regulated process. Not only …

Angiogenesis occurs during ovarian follicle development and luteinization. Pituitary
secreted FSH was reported to stimulate the expression of endothelial mitogen VEGF in …
