research Ovine placental steroid synthesis and metabolism in late gestation†
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Depo-Provera: an injectable contraceptive.
Depo-Provera effectively prevents pregnancy but has many side effects and safety concerns, leading to its ban in the U.S.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.

Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research Progesterone Promotes the Survival of Newborn Neurons in the Dentate Gyrus of Adult Male Mice
Progesterone helps adult male mice's brain cells survive and improves learning and memory.
research Synthesis of 11α-hydroxyprogesterone hartens
Researchers successfully made new compounds for hormone level tests, but one attempt led to an unexpected product, correcting a past error.
research Hippocampal 3α,5α-THP may alter depressive behavior of pregnant and lactating rats
Higher 3α,5α-THP levels in the brain may reduce depression in pregnant rats.

research Neuroactive Steroids: Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Physiologic Relevance
Allopregnanolone may enhance alcohol's effects on dopamine neurons, influencing addiction risk.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research Progesterone enhances ethanol-induced modulation of mesocortical dopamine neurons: antagonism by finasteride
Progesterone boosts alcohol's effect on brain, finasteride counters it.

research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of prolactin secretion in sheep under basal, stressful and pregnancy conditions
Neurosteroids affect prolactin levels in sheep differently depending on stress and pregnancy conditions.
research Progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges are inhibited by finasteride
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on brain activity linked to epilepsy.
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Allopregnanolone and Induction of Endogenous Opioid Inhibition of Oxytocin Responses to Immune Stress in Pregnant Rats
Allopregnanolone helps control oxytocin levels during pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.
research Determination of estradiol and progesterone concentrations in human scalp hair
