Question

Which hormone is not produced by corpus luteum?

• A. Progesterone
• B. Estradiol
• C. Inhibin
• D. Relaxin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Inhibin

The ovarian cortex contain a large mass of yellow cells, termed corpus luteum, formed in the cavity of an empty graffian follicle after the release of its ovum.

The cells of the corpus luteum contain a yellow pigment called lutein and secrete the hormone progesterone and a small amount of estrogen during pregnancy and the hormone relaxin toward the end of pregnancy.

So, the correct answer is 'Inhibin'.
