The follicular phase directly influences the development and function of the corpus luteum, as evidenced by how FSH levels during the follicular phase affect the size of the corpus luteum [1], [2], and how the number of granulosa cells formed during the follicular phase impacts steroid regulation by the corpus luteum [3]. Additionally, the corpus luteum's lifespan is sensitive to hormonal fluctuations that can occur during the follicular phase [4].

claimThe life span of the corpus luteum can be reduced by continuous Luteinizing hormone (LH) administration during the follicular or luteal phase, reduced LH concentration, decreased LH pulse frequency, or decreased LH pulse amplitude.

claimThe number of granulosa cells formed during the follicular phase and the amount of readily available LDL cholesterol may play a role in steroid regulation by the corpus luteum.

claimReduced levels of FSH during the follicular phase can lead to a shortened luteal phase and the development of a smaller corpus luteum.

claimReduced levels of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) during the follicular phase can lead to a shortened luteal phase and the development of a smaller corpus luteum.
