Luteocyte

Luteocytes are cells that are involved in the process of ovulation and the menstrual cycle in women. They are formed in the ovaries and store hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the menstrual cycle and promote the development of the corpus luteum.

Luteocytes also play an important role in preparing the uterus for embryo implantation. When an embryo implants in the uterus, luteocytes secrete hormones that promote the development of the placenta and provide nutrition to the embryo during the early stages of development.

In addition, luteocytes may be involved in other processes related to women's reproductive health, such as pregnancy and menopause.

However, in some cases, an imbalance in the production and release of hormones by luteocytes can lead to various diseases such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cancer. Therefore, to maintain a woman’s health, it is important to monitor the functioning of luteocytes and maintain a normal menstrual cycle.



Luteocytes are cells that produce the hormone prolactin, which is necessary for lactation. They are also involved in other body processes, such as reproductive function and regulation of the menstrual cycle in women. The luteocyte is called lutein. Lutenocytes are divided into Lc1 - Lcx with cell cells, this is confirmed by their functional characteristics. Lc and Lxc are bipotent stem cells similar to yolk spot endothelium.

In the ovaries, they are formed immediately after fertilization and are located in the luteal layer until the release of the yolk sac, moving with it to the endometrium under the influence of pituitary hormones (oxytocin and prolactin). In the uterus, stem cells transform into adventitial stromal cells. Thanks to the function of supporting and regulating the growth of the endometrium, new blood vessels can form in the walls of the uterus - another biological significance of lutenocytes.

In other words, Lutherococytes are produced in the ovaries and yolk sac of the fetal ovary during pregnancy. During the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, human chorionic gonadotropins (hCG) stimulate the release of luteal cells, which leads to the development of follicular structures in the form of the yolk body. Vitelline bodies are derivatives of the yolk tissue of the embryo and they contain human chorionic gonadotropin, which is necessary to stimulate the production of luteinocytes, they directly affect the number of germ cells in the ovary and participate in the normal process of menstruation in a woman.
