corpus luteum transcripts of galectin-3 are restricted to corpus luteum and always coincident to the expression of 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. In the nonpregnant ovary, signals for both galectin-1 and -3 are intense in the old, regressing corpora lutea formed at previous estrous cycles. In the newly formed corpora lutea, the signal intensity of galectin-1 first increases at the starting point of regression followed by increasing galectin-3/20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase expressions. Under gestation with active progesterone production, signals for both galectin-1 and -3 in corpora lutea completely disappear. At the perinatal stage, intense expressions of galectin-3/20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase recover in the remaining corpora lutea of gestation with the temporal expression of galectin-1 and continue until weaning Mus musculus
