What forms the corpus luteum and what hormones does it secrete? The corpus albicans becomes the corpus luteum after ovulation and secretes estrogen and progesterone. The cumulus oophorus becomes the corpus luteum before ovulation and secretes luteinizing hormone and estrogen to promote oocyte development. The follicular cells become the corpus luteum after ovulation and secrete follicle stimulating hormone and estrogen to promote oocyte development. The Graafian follicle becomes the corpus luteum after ovulation and secretes estrogen and progesterone.
