This is when the ruptured follicle forms in the corpus luteum.

这时破裂的卵泡在黄中形成。

In females, the theca cells respond to luteinizing hormone by producing progesterone and androstenedione.

在女性中，卵泡膜细胞对促黄生成素产生反应，从而产生孕雄烯二。

Their main job is to produce and release female gametes and sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

它们的主要工作是产生释放女性配子性素，素黄。

Luteinized theca cells respond to the low LH concentrations after ovulation by producing more progesterone.

LH水平降低会使黄素化的内膜细胞生成更多黄。

For a start, oestrogen is anabolic, building up muscle, while progesterone is catabolic, breaking it down.

首先，素是合成代谢的，可以增强肌肉，而黄是分代谢的，可以分肌肉。

So estrogen builds up the uterus lining, and progesterone maintains it during the second half of the menstrual cycle.

所以素会形成子宫内膜，而黄会在月经周期的后半段维持子宫内膜。

There are two other hormones also involved — the follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH, and the luteinizing hormone, or LH.

另外还有两种素——促卵泡素（FSH）黄生成素（LH）。

During puberty, the Leydig cells of the testes respond to the luteinizing hormone by converting more cholesterol into testosterone.

在青春期，睾丸间质细胞对促黄生成素作出反应，将更多的胆固醇转化为睾。

LH causes the mature egg to be released from the ovary and stimulates the release of progesterone.

黄生成素使成熟的卵子从卵巢中释放出来，并刺黄的释放。

Progesterone is produced by the empty follicle in the ovary.

黄是由卵巢中的空卵泡产生的。

There are also Leydig cells that secrete testosterone, much like the corpus luteum that secretes estrogen.

也有分泌睾的间质细胞，很像分泌素的黄。

The menstrual cycle is controlled by two main hormones: estrogen and progesterone.

月经周期由两种主要素控制：素黄。

And that leads to low levels of the gonadotropin hormones, luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, and low levels of gonadal function.

而这会导致促性腺素（促黄生成素卵泡刺素水平）降低，以及性腺功能水平降低。

In the luteal phase, that ovulation site has now turned into a corpus luteum.

在黄期，那个排卵部位已转变为黄。

We have estrogen and progesterone dancing in our bodies.

我们内有素黄。

HCG is luteinizing hormone, which is one of the hormones made by the brain.

HCG即促黄生成素，是大脑分泌的素之一。

And then that's called the luteal phase, so follicular phase, luteal phase.

然后这就被称为黄期，所以分别是卵泡期黄期。

I think that you'll see a graded decrease in gonadotropins, which is LH and FSH.

我认为你会看到促性腺素的分级下降，也就是黄生成素卵泡刺素。

So, overall, this means that progesterone surpasses estrogen as the dominant hormone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.

这时候黄的作用就会超过素，变成黄期的主导素。

LH binds to LH receptors on theca cells and they make progesterone and androstenedione.

LH与卵泡内膜细胞上的LH受结合，产生黄雄烯二。
