2. Corpus luteumThe corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body") (plural corpora lutea) is a temporary endocrine structure in mammals, involved in production of relatively high levels of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol and inhibin A. It is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids from the diet. Corpus luteum secretes moderate amount of estrogen to inhibit further release of GnRH and thus secretion of LH and FSH.
