Research
60-90 / 1000+ results research Neuroactive steroids inhibit spinal reflex potentiation by selectively enhancing specific spinal GABAA receptor subtypes
Progesterone reduces spinal reflex activity by increasing certain GABA(A) receptor subtypes.
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Estranys matins de febrer: Pauline Fondevila
Trienones are more effective at inhibiting the enzyme linked to hair loss than dienones.
research Hormonal contraceptives: pharmacology tailored to women's health
New hormonal contraceptives are safer, have fewer side effects, and offer health benefits for women.
research Progesterone and its Metabolites: Anticonvulsant and Behavioral Studies
Progesterone and its metabolites can prevent seizures without major side effects.
research 5. Novel anticonvulsant effects of supraphysiological doses of progesterone in hippocampal-kindled mice
High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.
research [Female contraception: hormonal methods].
Hormonal contraceptives are highly effective but require medical evaluation due to potential health risks.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and estroprogestins
Choosing the right estroprogestin is crucial for effectively managing PCOS symptoms.
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 Contraceptive implants considered 'safe'
Some birth control pills increase blood clot risk; use them for specific conditions only.
research A Review of Androgen‐Progestin Regimens for Male Contraception
Hormonal male contraception is effective and could be market-ready, but more research is needed to ensure safety for all ethnic groups.
research Estrogens
research Actualités du SOPK
Estrogen-progestin contraception lowers ovarian, endometrial, and colon cancer risk but may raise breast and cervical cancer risk, helps with menstrual and acne issues, and new methods are as effective as pills. Metformin helps overweight women with PCOS and insulin resistance, and dopamine agonists treat prolactinomas.
research EFFECTS OF A LOW‐DOSE DESOGESTREL‐ETHINYLESTRADIOL COMBINATION ON HIRSUTISM, ANDROGENS AND SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN IN WOMEN WITH A POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Low-dose oral contraceptives reduced hair growth and testosterone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Decreased allopregnanolone induced by hormonal contraceptives is associated with a reduction in social behavior and sexual motivation in female rats
Hormonal contraceptives may reduce social behavior and sexual motivation by lowering allopregnanolone levels.
research PR-independent neurosteroid regulation of α2-GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus subfields
Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Attenuation of 5α-reductase-mediated progesterone metabolism promotes differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells for the establishment of pregnancy
Reducing 5α-reductase activity helps endometrial cells differentiate, aiding pregnancy.
research Contraceptive Implants
Contraceptive implants are effective, long-lasting, and safe with manageable side effects.
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 PHARMACOVIGILANCE STUDY OF SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH LEVONORGESTROL -ETHINYL ESTRADIOL AND DEPOTMEDROXY PROGESTERONE ACETATE
COCs often cause nausea, vomiting, and hair loss, while Depo-Provera is linked to weight gain.
research PROGRESSIVE SLEEP APNOEAS RESPOND TO MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE
Medroxyprogesterone acetate improved sleep apnea symptoms in some obese patients.
research Allopregnanolone promotes proliferation and differential gene expression in human glioblastoma cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
