Abstract
Implants of estrous uteri can inhibit functional corpus luteum. while removal of this antagonistic influence allows extra persistence of luteal function in the rat. The evidence indicates that the placenta is responsible for removal of the uterine antagonist. The antagonistic action may be hormonal or may be dependent on the metabolic activity of the uterus.
