Transcriptome analysis of corpora lutea in domestic cats (Felis catus) reveals strong differences in gene expression of various hormones, hormone receptors and regulators across di... by Beate C. Braun, Michał M. Hryciuk, Dorina Meneghini

“…The expression of these genes is highly variable and reversed between stages. The life cycle and activity of CLs seem to be regulated by different factors, as genes encoding for the hormone receptors LHCGR and PAQR5 were more highly expressed in the development/maintenance stage, in contrast to this encoding for LEPR, which is higher expressed in regression stage. …”
