Key result
The matured bovine corpus luteum exhibits a heterogeneous structure with a significantly higher distribution of arteriolovenous vessels and eNOS in the periphery compared to the center.
Observational (n=20)

Does not support clinical translation; leaves open functional roles of peripheral vessels in luteal maintenance across species.
Shirasuna et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Bovine corpus luteum during estrous cycle (n=20). Luteal phase (early, mid, late, regressing) was evaluated on Distribution of arteriolovenous vessels, capillaries, and eNOS expression in the periphery versus center of the corpus luteum (p=<0.05). The matured bovine corpus luteum exhibits a heterogeneous structure with a significantly higher distribution of arteriolovenous vessels and eNOS in the periphery compared to the center.
