[small luteal cell]
These cells are cells in the corpus luteum that produce progesterone. These cells respond to luteinizing hormone but produce few regulatory peptides (Hansel and Dowd, 1986; Pitzel et al, 1990). They are derived from Theca cells. In primates, these cells are also being referred to as granulosa-lutein cells (Hansel and Dowd, 1986; Pitzel et al, 1990; Niswender et al, 2000). See also: large luteal cells.
