Examples
Due to its similarity to LH, urine-derived hCG has been used to trigger ovulation and luteinization and to support the corpus luteum.
However, this complex process initiated by ovulation and followed by luteinization, similar to wound healing or tumor formation, needs to be highly regulated and coordinated.
Premature luteinization in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation has no adverse effect on oocyte and embryo quality.
