The corpus luteum is directly related to estrogen because it functions as an endocrine structure that secretes estrogen to support the uterine lining and pregnancy, as described in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. Additionally, the relationship is explored through the hormonal regulation of the luteal phase and the potential role of estrogen in the regression or luteolysis of the corpus luteum, as noted in [5], [6], [7], and [8].
