* During early metoestrus, both oestrogen and progesterone levels are relatively low.
* During early metoestrus, both oestrogen and progesterone levels are relatively low.
* Granulosa cells of the ovulated follicle give rise to lutein cells, which are responsible for the formation of the corpus luteum (luteinisation).
* Granulosa cells of the [[The_Ovary_-_Ovulation_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|ovulated]] follicle give rise to lutein cells, which are responsible for the formation of the corpus luteum (luteinisation).
* Progesterone secretion is detectable soon after ovulation, with significant quantities produced in 2-5 days. This marks a transition from oestrogen to progesterone dominance.
