title: Specific binding of human chorionic gonadotropin to human corpora lutea in the menstrual cycle.
abstract: Luteal tissue from 26 premenopausal women undergoing surgery for nonendocrine disease was examined for specific binding to human chorionic gonadotropin. Results showed a nadir in the percentage of binding on day 10, with a gradual increase until maximal binding was obtained on days 22 through 26. Binding then markedly declined to that seen on day 1 of the menses and decreased gradually to its lowest level on day 10.
