Quantitative cell composition of human and bovine corpora lutea from various reproductive states

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Kentucky 40292.

The cell composition of human and bovine corpora lutea (CL) from various reproductive states was investigated by computerized video- based interactive Bioquant image analysis system IV and by light microscope immunocytochemistry. Human and bovine CL contained more nonluteal cells than luteal cells. Human CL contained a lower number of luteal and a greater number of nonluteal cells than bovine CL. Regardless of the reproductive state, human CL contained more small luteal cells than large luteal cells. In all reproductive states except in the late luteal phase, the bovine CL also contained more small luteal cells than large luteal cells. The average sizes of all the cells in human CL were smaller than in bovine CL. Human CL contained more vascular space than bovine CL during mid and late luteal phases. The number of luteal cells increased and nonluteal cells decreased from early to mid luteal phase, and then luteal cells decreased and nonluteal cells increased in late luteal phase and in degenerating human and bovine CL. While the change of number of small and large luteal cells first occurred from early to mid luteal phase in human CL, it did not take place until the late luteal phase in bovine CL. The average size of large luteal cells in humans and of small luteal cells in cattle did not change, whereas size of the other cells changed in different reproductive states in both human and bovine CL. The cell composition of term pregnancy human CL was similar to mid or late luteal phase, whereas the cell composition of early pregnancy bovine CL was similar to mid luteal phase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
