title: Prolyl hydroxylase in human corpora lutea during menstrual cycle and early pregnancy.
abstract: Immunohistochemical staining for human prolyl hydroxylase revealed intense staining of the human corpora lutea (CL) parencyma during early pregnancy compared with those in the menstrual cycle. These results suggest that human prolyl hydroxylase might play an important role in determining the physiology and structure of the CL during the menstrual cycle and early pregnancy.
