A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The regulated release of progesterone, a steroid hormone, by the corpus luteum of the ovary and by the placenta. The set of processes resulting in differentiation of theca and granulosa cells into luteal cells and in the formation of a corpus luteum after ovulation. The type of sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. Any process by which a lipid is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The regulated release of hormones, substances with a specific regulatory effect on a particular organ or group of cells. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the female gonad over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process by which a hormone is secreted into the circulatory system. The directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The process that involves the secretion of or response to endocrine hormones. An endocrine hormone is a hormone released into the circulatory system. A process involved in the sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism.
