TL;DR
Elevation of LH receptor numbers by progesterone in immature CL may be a form of intraluteal regulation contributing to the functional maturation of these steroidogenic cells.
Abstract
During development of the corpus luteum (CL), the numbers of luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors increase. Cultured bovine luteal cells from developing and mature CL were used to examine the influence of progesterone (P4) on this receptor. CL were obtained from dairy cows during the early or middle phase of the estrous cycle. In early CL, the number of receptors per cell was increased by exogenous progesterone treatment but there was no effect on receptor numbers in cells from midcycle CL. Binding affinities did not change with respect to age or treatment. Forskolin elevated endogenous progesterone and also enlarged the receptor population. The action did not appear to be an unmasking of cryptic receptors since the effect was not seen in luteal particulates. Elevation of LH receptor numbers by progesterone in immature CL may be a form of intraluteal regulation contributing to the functional maturation of these steroidogenic cells.

It is demonstrated that hormonal regulation of LH/CG receptor mRNA in rat ovarian cells parallels changes in LH/ CG receptor levels and involves diverse molecular mechanisms, including low concentrations of cAMP (elicited by FSH) in developing follicles, and inhibition by high concentrations of CAMP in PO follicles and induction and maintenance by PRL in corpora lutea of gestation.

The studies presented herein were aimed at characterizing the pathway involved in the internalization and degradation of human choriogonadotropin by cultured Leydig tumor cells, and it appears to involve processing of one or both subunits of the intact hormone, followed by subunit dissociation and further degradation of the individual subunits.

It is concluded that separate FSH pulses are secreted in addition to parallel LH and F SH pulses during the mid-luteal phase of the oestrous cycle; therefore, the frequency of secretion of LH may be modulated to a greater extent by ovarian steroids than is FSH pulse frequency.
