It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation . </P> <P> The corpus luteum is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids (including lutein) from the diet and secretes a moderate amount of estrogen to inhibit further release of gonadotropin - releasing hormone (GnRH) and thus secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH). A new corpus luteum develops with each menstrual cycle . </P>

What female hormone that isn't produced by the follicle is now being produced by the corpus luteum
