Q. Progesterone is secreted by :

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2005

Solution:

Progesterone is a principal female sex hormone. It is a steroid. It is secreted during the later half of the menstrual cycle in human females by temporary endocrine tissue, the corpus luteum. The luteinizing hormone (LH) of anterior pituitary brings about a rupture of the graafian follicle to release the ovum, and changes the ruptured follicle into a yellow structure called corpus luteum, which secrets progesterone.
