research Estrogenic Potential of 2-Alkyl-4-(thio)chromenone 6-O-Sulfamates: Potent Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
A substance called Compound 2g can strongly block STS (a hormone-related enzyme) without affecting estrogen levels, making it potentially good for treating breast cancer.
research Changes in expression of the δ subunit of the GABAAreceptor and in receptor function induced by progesterone exposure and withdrawal
Progesterone affects GABAA receptor function by altering δ subunit levels.
research Progesterone Inhibits the Growth of Human Neuroblastoma: In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence

Steroids stop hair growth temporarily but don't block the signals that start it.
research Progesterone and its Metabolites: Anticonvulsant and Behavioral Studies
Progesterone and its metabolites can prevent seizures without major side effects.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Rare and common genetic determinants of metabolic individuality and their effects on human health
Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
