“…This is consonant with the established luteotrophic action of oestrogen in the rabbit (Allen & Heckel, 1936). During pregnancy, oestrogen appears to be supplied by the follicles (Rennie, 1968 Fig.…”

“…Estrogen treatment has a beneficial effect on corpora lutea in rats (Hohlweg, 1934;Desclin, 1935;Selye et al, 1935;Wolfe, 1935;Merckel and Nelson, 1940) and rabbits (Allen and Heckel, 1936;Heckel and Allen, 1939). Kidder et al (1955) found that stilbestrol caused luteinization of follicles when injected on day-ll of the estrual cycle of gilts.…”

“…R ob son had reported from England that estrogen induced abortion in preg nant rabbits so G eorge H eckel repeated the experiments. Sure enough estrogen did induce abortion but H eckel noticed that if he continued the injection of estrogen the fetuses did, in fact, die but they were not aborted [38].

This paper gives in narrative style those phases of the corpus luteum story in which the author was an active participant. The first part deals with the exciting days at the University of Rochester where the pure hormone was isolated in 1933 and where many of the effects of the hormone on target tissues were elucidated. The origin of the name, progesterone, is given as a fine example of international cooperation in the selection of a name which has been universally accepted. The accidental discovery of the ‘Blue Color Test’ for DHIA and the development of the Allen-Correction at Washington University in St. Louis are recounted as sideline adventures in science. The final part recounts the steps, extending over a period of 40 years, which have clarified the role of the human corpus luteum in pregnancy.
