Graafian follicles, dissected intact from the rabbit ovary and incubated for 40 minutes with luteinizing hormone, developed into corpora lutea when autotransplanted under the kidney capsule. Follicles incubated with follicle-stimulating hormone or without hormone degenerated and failed to luteinize. Direct exposure of the mammalian follicle to luteinizing hormone initiates luteinization and formation of the corpus luteum.
