Function of hormonally-induced corpora lutea in the domestic cat.
Hysterectomy (3 animals) or diversion of the uterine venous blood from the ovarian vasculature (3 animals) has no effect on the duration of hormonally-induced luteal activity in the pseudopregnant luteal-phase cat (control: 4 animals), suggesting that the uterus exerts no local or systemic influence on the duration of luteal function.
