The mechanism by which the corpus luteum regulates steroid secretion is not completely understood, though it may be determined in part by LH secretory patterns, LH receptors, or variations in the levels of enzymes regulating steroid hormone production, such as 3β-HSD, CYP17, CYP19, or side chain cleavage enzyme.
