research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Alleviation of Mechanical Allodynia by 14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid in a Central Poststroke Pain Model: Possible Role of Allopregnanolone and δ-Subunit-Containing Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptors
14,15-EET may help reduce poststroke pain by affecting certain brain proteins.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research Phase-specific differential regulation of mechanical allodynia in a murine model of neuropathic pain by progesterone
Progesterone initially worsens but later reduces neuropathic pain in mice, through different mechanisms.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research Novel progestogenic androgens for male contraception: design, synthesis, and activity of C7 α-substituted testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research Sex Hormones: Hormonal Contraception and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal contraceptives and therapies regulate organ functions and treat various conditions.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research 5. Novel anticonvulsant effects of supraphysiological doses of progesterone in hippocampal-kindled mice
High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.
research Anthracycline analogs The past, present, and future
Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.
research Identification of Metabolites for the Novel 5α‐Reductase Inhibitor Epristeride In Vitro and Its Potential Impact on Doping Testing
Epristeride's metabolism involves key metabolites and proteins, affecting its use in doping tests.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and estroprogestins
Choosing the right estroprogestin is crucial for effectively managing PCOS symptoms.
research Latanoprost
research The anticonvulsant effects of progesterone and its metabolites
5alpha-DHP may be a safe, effective treatment for certain seizures without causing sedation.
research Noncontraceptive benefits of the estradiol valerate/dienogest combined oral contraceptive: a review of the literature
The estradiol valerate/dienogest oral contraceptive helps with heavy periods, may improve acne and symptoms in PCOS, and doesn't affect sexual function.
research SAT-127 Localization and Treatment of the Ectopic ACTH Syndrome Using Somatostatin Analogues
Somatostatin analogues effectively manage ectopic ACTH syndrome when surgery isn't possible.
research 1492 Prostacyclin pathway to enhance wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers
Treprostinil, a drug, can delay wound healing in healthy cells but doesn't affect diabetic foot ulcer cells, suggesting further research could help understand its role in treating these ulcers.
research Inhibiting Biosynthesis and/or Metabolism of Progestins in the Ventral Tegmental Area Attenuates Lordosis of Rats in Behavioural Oestrus
Blocking certain brain processes reduces mating behavior in female rats.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
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 Effects of progesterone (P4) and estrogen (E2) on fertilization failure and early embryonic mortality in superovulated cows
Hormonal treatments affect cow fertility and early embryo development.
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 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.
