Determination of Cell Type Specificity and Estrous Cycle Dependency of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Expression in Corpora Lutea of Normally Cycling Rats in Relation to Apoptosis and Monocyte/Macrophage Accumulation

In regressive corpora lutea, apoptosis of luteal cells, expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and accumulation of monocytes/macrophages occur. However, whether these three events are correlated and what cell type expresses MCP-1 have yet to be determined. To clarify these issues,...
