corpus albicans การใช้

• The remains of the corpus albicans may persist as a scar on the surface of the ovary.
• It acts on the corpus luteum to cause luteolysis, forming a corpus albicans and stopping the production of progesterone.
• As the corpus luteum is being broken down by macrophages, fibroblasts lay down type I collagen, forming the corpus albicans.
• Alternatively if no implantation of a blastocyst occurs, the corpus luteum is degraded to a corpus albicans ( scar tissue ) by PGF2alpha released by uterine endometrial cells.
• However, in placental animals such as humans, the placenta eventually takes over progesterone production and the corpus luteum degrades into a corpus albicans without embryo / fetus loss.
