Regulation of tissue remodelling and ovarian permeability by intercellular adhesion complexes may be involved in normal and pathological ovarian function. Therefore, the occurrence, distribution and hormonal control of the adherens junction protein vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and the tight junction proteins occludin and claudin in the human corpus luteum (CL) were investigated.
