Luteolysis (also known as luteal regression) is the structural and functional degradation of the corpus luteum, which occurs at the end of the luteal phase of both the estrous and menstrual cycles in the absence of pregnancy.
== Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) == Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) has been identified as the key luteolytic hormone in many species. PGF2α is released from uterine endometrial cells in a pulsatile pattern when stimulated by oxytocin to stimulate both luteolytic activity and further release of oxytocin from the corpus luteum.
