What was the initial postulation about the female reproductive cycle that Allen reconsidered?
It's related to the sun cycle
It's controlled by substance in the corpus luteum
Females don't have a reproductive cycle
It's random without any hormonal influence
Answer
Allen reconsidered the postulation that the female reproductive cycle is controlled by a substance in the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is a structure that develops in the ovary after ovulation and secretes hormones that prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Allen argued that the female reproductive cycle is controlled by a combination of hormones, including estrogen and progesterone.
