Wikipedia

  1. luteal

    The corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body"; plural corpora lutea) is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, and moderate levels of estradiol, and inhibin A. It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation.The corpus luteum is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids (including lutein) from the diet and secretes a moderate amount of estrogen that inhibits further release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and thus secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). A new corpus luteum develops with each menstrual cycle.

  1. luteal

    Luteal refers to the latter stage of the menstrual cycle in females, following ovulation and preceding menstruation, when the corpus luteum is present in the ovary. It is characterized by high levels of progesterone hormone, which prepares the uterus for possible implantation of a fertilized egg. The luteal phase typically lasts about 14 days. Anything related to this stage or the corpus luteum is often referred to as "luteal".

Examples of luteal in a Sentence

  1. Lisa Dabney:

    The reason that it’s not always true is because women are only fertile a few days a month, but that window is very different from woman to woman. Some women can have a 21-day cycle and some can have a 35-day cycle, and for the woman that has one week in the luteal phase (the time between ovulation and when you have your period) if she bleeds for seven days, she’s going to start ovulating while she’s still bleeding, and sperm can live for three days, so women can get pregnant if the length of their period is long.
