360-390 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 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 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.
research Venous and pulmonary thromboembolism and combined hormonal contraceptives. Systematic review and meta-analysis
Some birth control pills have a higher risk of blood clots than others.
research The anticonvulsant effects of progesterone and its metabolites
5alpha-DHP may be a safe, effective treatment for certain seizures without causing sedation.
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 016 Anesthetics Prior to Keloid Injections: A Painless Approach
Using lidocaine before keloid injections makes the treatment more comfortable for patients.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.
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 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 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 Novel anticonvulsive effects of progesterone in a mouse model of hippocampal electrical kindling
Progesterone can reduce seizures without relying on the GABAA receptor pathway.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Estro-progestogen combinations: Effect on sex Steroid Binding Protein (SBP) synthesis
Certain hormone treatments can increase SBP levels and help with mild body hair growth.
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 Dienogest versus gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues for the clinical treatment of endometriosis: an updated meta-analysis
Dienogest is safer and has fewer side effects than GnRH analogues for treating endometriosis.
research Family planning 2011: better use of existing methods, new strategies and more informed choices for female contraception
The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.
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 Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research New Aromatic Esters of Progesterone as Antiandrogens
New progesterone-based compounds can block male hormones.
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 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 Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
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 Respiratory regulation by steroids in newborn rats: a sex‐specific balance between allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors
Breathing in newborn rats is affected differently by hormones based on their sex.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
